Recover from git reset --hard?

Question

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

Answer 1

I ran into same issue and I was almost going insane....initially i committed the project and merged.. later when i try running git push --set-upstream origin master i was getting this error

  fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories

so i ran git reset --hard HEAD and it deleted a 3 weeks project but these few commands below save the day:

git reset HEAD@{1}         //this command unstage changes after reset
git fsck --lost-found      //I got the dangling commit fc3b6bee2bca5d8a7e16b6adaca6a76e620eca4b
git show  fc3b6bee2bca5d8a7e16b6adaca6a76e620eca4b>
git rebase fc3b6bee2bca5d8a7e16b6adaca6a76e620eca4b

hope this helps
