Git: Recovering ‘Lost’ Commits with the Power of Reflog

- 01.03.26 - ErcanOPAK

Did you git reset --hard and lose your work? Don’t panic. Git almost never deletes anything immediately. Reflog tracks every move of the HEAD.

git reflog
# Find the hash before the mistake
git reset --hard [HASH]

This is the ‘Undo’ button for your entire Git history. It’s the difference between a productive day and losing a week of work.
