How to revert a "git rm -r ."?
git, git-rm
Solution
git reset HEAD
Should do it. If you don't have any uncommitted changes that you care about, then
git reset --hard HEAD
should forcibly reset everything to your last commit. If you do have uncommitted changes, but the first command doesn't work, then save your uncommitted changes with `git stash`:
git stash
git reset --hard HEAD
git stash pop
Problem
I accidentely said `git rm -r .`. How do I recover from this? I did not commit. I think all files were marked for deletion and were also physically removed from my local checkout. EDIT: I could (if I knew the command) revert to the last commit. But it would be a lot better if I could just undo the `git rm -r .`. Because I am not really sure what I did after the last commit and before the `git rm -r .`.
