Accidentally did git reset –hard and lost commits? Reflog keeps history of all HEAD movements.

View Reflog:

git reflog

# Output:
# abc1234 HEAD@{0}: reset: moving to HEAD~3
# def5678 HEAD@{1}: commit: Important feature  ← Lost commit!
# ghi9012 HEAD@{2}: commit: Bug fix

Recover Lost Commit:

# Option 1: Checkout specific commit
git checkout def5678

# Option 2: Create branch from it
git checkout -b recovered-branch def5678

# Option 3: Reset back to it
git reset --hard def5678

Reflog Shows:
– All commits
– All resets
– All checkouts
– All rebases
– Kept for 90 days!
