  1. I installed GitHub Desktop and added a local repository of my existing git repo.
  2. I selected all of the files that I didn't want to track > right clicked > add to ignore list.
  3. I pushed the changes

When I went back into my repo it had deleted all of my untracked files and left only what was committed. Is there anyway to undo this?

I had never committed my untracked files before so they are not on github

I had used tortoise git previously before switching to GitHub Desktop. I wouldn't be surprised if I did something wrong

Okay I managed to solve this by applying the stash that was dropped from github desktop.

This answer and the links in this answer helped me solve it:

recover dropped stash

Once checking the github dekstop log for the dropped stash hash I simply ran the command

git stash apply $stash_hash
