If you didn't already commit your local changes (or at least stage them via git add, they're gone. git reset --hard is a destructive operation for uncommitted changes.

If you did happen to stage them, but didn't commit them, try git fsck --lost-found and then search through the contents of .git/lost-found - it will contain all of the objects that aren't referenced by a known commit, and may include versions of files that were staged.
