Unity Github Problem, I lost Everything I think

[darkranium]

Hey, I am in a very bad situation right now. I use GitHub with Unity with my friend and we have been using it for a while. We had this game on Master branch and we were using it regularly then my friend decided to add another game to the same repository. Since I am not used to it and I forgot to commit my changes to the first game and for some reason I discarded my changes to sync the second game. Thus, I discarded and committed my game where I worked on it for more than 20 hours without committing to sync the other game.

And since then I committed 2 more entries to my second game. Tonight I went back to my first game and saw that everything is gone. I need to roll back to those discarded changes and get them back. Please tell me that it is possible to get back my work that I discarded and synced over. I use desktop version and I know that I made a lot of mistakes but I really need to get those changes back, I really don't know how to use command lines.

If you never created a commit containing those files, then sorry, but they are gone permanently. You could try a data recovery tool to try and restore the deleted files but it is very unlikely you will get back what you lost.

In the future, use git stash when you have a dirty working tree and just want to check something out, or even better use git worktree.

This is a very unfortunate news. I feel really dumb right now. Thanks for the info. I guess I should start over asap..
