All files/folders were gone when I runned this command in Git

Question

by running this command my all files/folder consisting git init are gone.I run this command in my ubuntu terminal git reset --hard origin/master and following was the response obtained HEAD is now at 979997c Initial commit but when I run git log only the initial commit with 979997c commit id is visible

I am in tension whether all my files are gone...Is there any way to get back all the files.. Please help..Please help me out of this since all the projects I did are in this folder

As a side note, it's probably best if you have an individual repository for each project as opposed to keeping all of them in one repository — taylorc93, Feb 21 '15 at 16:56

Run git reflog and find the commit before you reset to 979997c.

Say that commit has id 1234567, run git log 1234567 to verify it's correct, and then re-reset the branch with git reset --hard 1234567.

You'll also see each action has HEAD@{x}. You can also use git reset --hard HEAD@{x} – taylorc93 Feb 21 '15 at 16:55

You're welcome. In the future be careful not to run commands that you're not sure what they're going to do. – Christoffer Hammarström Feb 21 '15 at 17:13
