Git pull deleted uncommitted changes

Question

I just made a new repository on github. Starting with a folder full of files, the steps I did were:

git init
git add -A
git remote add origin ...

#Now pull          


        

Answer 1

I agree with the accepted answer, however in my case there were too many results for git fsck. This solution is what helped me locate the lost files:

Search for a string in the missing file(s):

grep -rin  .git/

For example:

grep -rin MyClassName .git/

Search results:

.git//lost-found/other/3cfaa36226f52a5c1b38c2d2da3912656c998826:5:class MyClassName extends ParentClass
.git//lost-found/other/e7b8923de4afb230ad523b5b515f50cb9c624248:5:class MyClassName extends ParentClass

Where search results are:

.git/::

Then to restore the file:

git cat-file -p 3cfaa36226f52a5c1b38c2d2da3912656c998826 > ..//MyClassName.php
