Recover from git reset --hard?

Question

Is there any way to recover uncommitted changes to the working directory from a git reset --hard HEAD?

Answer 1

While I was working on a local project, I wanted to move it to GitHub and then created a new repository. While I was trying to add all these files to the new repository with .gitignore, I accidentally added a wrong file and then tried to clear it.

I ran git reset --hard origin/master :P

Then all of my local files deleted because the repo was empty. I thought everything was gone.

This saved my life:

git reflog show
git reset HEAD@{1} 
git push 

Hope it saves another life.
