Recover from losing uncommitted changes by "git reset --hard"
git
Solution
You cannot get back uncommitted changes in general.
Previously staged changes (`git add`) should be recoverable from index objects, so if you did, use `git fsck --lost-found` to locate the objects related to it. (This writes the objects to the `.git/lost-found/` directory; from there you can use `git show <filename>` to see the contents of each file.)
If not, the answer here would be: look at your backup. Perhaps your editor/IDE stores temp copies under /tmp or C:\TEMP and things like that.[1]
git reset HEAD@{1}
This will restore to the previous HEAD

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