Recovering added/staged file after doing git reset --hard HEAD^?
git, recovery, version-control
Solution
You can (with some work) recover state of file at the last "git add <file>". You can use
$ git fsck --cache --no-reflogs --lost-found --dangling HEAD
and then examine files in '.git/lost-found/other' directory.
Please read git fsck manpage.
Problem
I added a new file `F1` and made changes to another file F2 but then did a `git reset --hard HEAD^` and I have lost all the changes to the files. Is there some way, I can get them back? I did look at a related question here: How can I undo git reset --hard HEAD~1? but, that question assumes that the one has done a Git commit.
