Detached Head

    Recovering a detached head created from a hard reset đź”—

    “Accidentally” did a hard reset and lost commits I’d done.

    git reflog

    This showed the commit with a HEAD@{1} next to it

    git checkout HEAD@{1}

    This moved me onto a detached head. And git gave me instructions how how to “save it”

    git switch -c new_branch

    This created a branch for my head and I just switched back to my previous branch and merged in the new_branch. (Did in vscode don’t have command and they shouldn’t be hard to find).
