In Git, how can I recover a staged file that was reverted prior to committing?

问题


I was attempting to pull a change into my repository using Git Tower. When I did so, there was a conflict and I mistakenly hit stage all (as I wanted to commit after resolving the conflict). When I did so, the conflict marked itself as resolved.

I wanted to manually resolve the change so I hit \"Abort Merge\", however, when I did this, It rolled back all my changes! Is there any way to get them back?

If you had anything staged to git, you probably should be able to get that back. (If you just changed working copy, you wouldn't be able to restore it.)

First of all: do not run git gc. Backup your repository and working copy before going ahead. (Make sure to backup .git directory.) Also avoid closing terminal where this happened, and/or rebooting — if all fails, you have a chance to find stuff in history / memory.

Anyway, first thing to try is:

git fsck --lost-found

It will print something like

Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
Checking objects: 100% (30165/30165), done.
dangling blob 8f72c7d79f964b8279da93ca8c05bd685e892756
dangling commit 4993502a6394491190d3f4d6fb3d1e14019c2e9b

Since you lost staged files and did not do a commit, you're interested in dangling blob entries.

Run git show <sha> for each one — some of them should be your files.

To expand on Alexander's answer with a simpler alternative: yes, if you've staged your changes then you can probably get your files back. When you run git add, files are actually added to Git's object database. At the moment that you do, git will put the file in the index:

% git add bar.txt
% git ls-files --stage
100644 ce013625030ba8dba906f756967f9e9ca394464a 0   bar.txt
100644 6af0abcdfc7822d5f87315af1bb3367484ee3c0c 0   foo.txt

Note that the entry for bar.txt contains the object ID of the file. Git has actually added the file to its object database. In this case, Git has added it to the repository as a loose object:

% ls -Flas .git/objects/ce/013625030ba8dba906f756967f9e9ca394464a
4 -r--r--r--  1 ethomson  staff  21 14 Jun 23:58 .git/objects/ce/013625030ba8dba906f756967f9e9ca394464a

These files will eventually be garbage collected (so indeed, do not explicitly run git gc). Thankfully, by default, this will happen in a matter of months, not days. Until these files are garbage collected, you can recover them.

The easiest way to do this is to download and install the git-recover program in interactive mode:

% git recover -i
Recoverable orphaned git blobs:

Recover this file? [y,n,v,f,q,?]: 

git-recover looks for files in the object database that are not committed (or in the index). You can find out more about git-recover in the blog post announcing it.

A very late answer that could simplify (a lot?) the recover by letting you figure it out quicker which blobs should be recovered:

git fsck --full --no-reflogs --unreachable --lost-found | grep blob | cut -d\  -f3 | while read in; do printf "blob: $in\n"; git cat-file -p $in; printf "\n--------------------------------\n"; done > recover.txt

This command will create a file containing the hash and content of all the blobs that could be recovered.

That way, you could easily search into this file and recover the blobs you want with the given hash (with the command git cat-file -p 8f72c7d79f964b8279da93ca8c05bd685e892756 > myFile.txt)

Disclaimer: this file could become huge and slow to create if you've got a lot of unreachable blobs.
