How To Lose Data With Git Reset

The aim of this anti-playbook🏁 is to outline steps for losing your (albeit saved) changes just by running git reset --hard. This seems irreversible.

1. steps/notes

1. you commit a file
2. you change a tracked file (file already commited) in the working area and do not commit it the change
3. you run git reset --hard

• the branch is moved to the HEAD
• the state HEAD of that move is copied both to the index and the working area
• if you made any changes to either working area/index, that’s all irreversibly lost
• intentionally, it is a nice way to discard your changes, or course :)
• rule: no commit, no restore
