GIT commit cannot commit after antivir scann and restart

Question

Everything worked fine unit today.

Symantec/Antivir scanned and restarted my computer and afterwards my workspace looked like this.

Does anyone know what I can do?
How can I set the HEAD once a again? In local the paths are all removed.

Answer 1

You can always clone the project again to get the latest code from the repository.

Another option is to execute fsck and recover from dangling files.

# Search for all uncommitted added files = dangling content
git fsck --full

# print out the content of the dangling content
git show <SHA-1>

If the content is commited simply use git reflog

A single line command, breached into multiple lines only for readability

# You can try recovering a branch by resting your branch to the sha
# of the commit found using a command like: 
git fsck --full --no-reflogs --unreachable --lost-found | 
    grep commit | cut -d\  -f3 | xargs -n 1 
    git log -n 1 --pretty=oneline > .git/lost-found.txt

# Display the above commits 
git log -p <commit>

# OR: 
git cat-file -p <commit>
