So silly me, I had lost control of my repository a little bit,

I had a commit of 14,000 changes pending

I was using the mac github desktop application. I simply gave the commit a title, description and hit commit to master. Some loading went on, then all of a sudden the whole commit disappeared.

That is literally all I did and I have now lost a weeks worth of work.

Any chance I can retrieve this lost commit?

Git Reflog gives 

86d0999 HEAD@{0}: cherry-pick: On master: GitHub: Stashing to pull in remote changes
04f207b HEAD@{1}: merge 04f207b: Fast-forward
ce9f5bf HEAD@{2}: reset: moving to HEAD^
04f207b HEAD@{3}: commit: Table Functionality
ce9f5bf

What is the erroneous line at the bottom?

  • Can you look for any dangling commits? `git fsck --lost-found` – Matt Clark Feb 08 '17 at 21:13

If you didnt actually do a commit it may be hard. Check the reflogs.
