Retrieve a deleted stash that is not a stash-like commit

Question

I followed the directions here in order to recover a stash I deleted by mistake, but when I try to apply it, I get an error message:

boonie@elementary:~/akanbar-system$ git fsck --unreachable
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
Checking objects: 100% (702/702), done.
unreachable commit 0f34656bf920ac827702190de57459f77e8310ec

'0f34656bf920ac827702190de57459f77e8310ec' is not a stash-like commit

I've tried searching for a solution but I can't find any. Please help!

Solution: Guys, I'm not sure how exactly this worked, but I applied the second unreachable commit instead of the first one (which was the one I wanted) and it restored everything back. They must have been connected somehow. Hopefully this helps someone in the future, and if not, someone who answers with another method below will also help!

Answer 1

Recover lost stashed

1. gitk --all $( git fsck --no-reflog | awk '/dangling commit/ {print $3}' )

2. you can get it by reset or checkout to another branch.

   for Reset: git reset -- hard <hashCode>

   for Checkout: git branch <desire_branch_name> <hashCode>
