# Resetting A Reset
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes we run commands like `git reset --hard HEAD~` when we shouldn't
|
||||
have. We wish we could undo what we've done, but the commit we've *reset* is
|
||||
gone forever. Or is it?
|
||||
|
||||
When bad things happen, `git-reflog` can often lend a hand. Using
|
||||
`git-reflog`, we can find our way back to were we've been; to better times.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ git reflog
|
||||
00f77eb HEAD@{0}: reset: moving to HEAD~
|
||||
9b2fb39 HEAD@{1}: commit: Add this set of important changes
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We can see that `HEAD@{1}` references a time and place before we destroyed
|
||||
our last commit. Let's fix things by resetting to that.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ get reset HEAD@{1}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Our lost commit is found.
|
||||
|
||||
We cannot undo all the bad in the world. Any changes to tracked files will
|
||||
be irreparably lost.
