By mistake I ran git checkout -- and all local changes are gone. I can't see anything when running git log. How can I get all local changes back?

From what I’m aware of, calling git checkout — <file> will permanently discard local changes on that file, meaning you won’t be able to retrieve it.

However, if your work may be on a separate IDE or tool it may have revision histories so you could possible retrieve it from there, however I’m unsure if it’s possible still.

Git has a dedicated page to this question: how to undo changes with GIT
