    I don’t know if you’re joking, but in case you’re not: git reflog and git reset --hard HEAD@{n} is your friend. You can undo almost anything. Deleted commits and branches aren’t really deleted. Remotely deleted branches can be pushed again.

    Except for an (accidental) git restore/git reset. Those are permanent and can’t be undone.

      Unless, you didn’t close your editor before doing so, in which case, you can just save it again.

      Even git reset can be undone by a lot of editors. At least IntelliJ has an excellent local history that works much like git. Sure it’s a pain if you touched several files but that’ll teach you to atomify your commits.

      Edit: Plus, git reset itself does nothing of note really, but I’m sure you know. Needs the —hardflag to do any meaningful damage.
