How to retrieve the code when the git window is closed

For developers, Git is one of the indispensable tools, which can help us better manage code. However, in the process of using Git, some users will encounter the following situation: before submitting the code, they accidentally close the Git window, causing the code to disappear. What should they do?

If you encounter similar problems, don’t panic, I will provide you with several solutions next.

1. Using the git stash command

First, we can use the git stash command to retrieve the code. This command can store uncommitted changes in the current working directory and return to Git's most recent commit state.

Use the following command:

$ git stash apply

This command will restore the code in stash to the working directory.

If you still need to view the content saved by the previous stash, you can use the following command:

$ git stash list

This command will list the previously saved stash list.

2. Use the git reflog command

The git reflog command can list all operations in the local warehouse, including commits, merges, fetch, pull, reset of all local branches Wait for operations.

Use the following command:

$ git reflog

This command will list all operations in the local warehouse, and each operation is accompanied by a commitID.

You can search for previously uncommitted versions and restore them after finding the relevant commitID.

3. Using Git GUI

If none of the above commands can retrieve the code, we can try using Git GUI.

Git GUI is the graphical interface tool that comes with Git. It can not only help us better manage the code, but also help us retrieve the code.

First we open the Git GUI, and in the Commit History in the lower left corner, select the branch you were working on before closing the window.

Then, find the version you currently need to restore in the selected branch, right-click it and select "Create new branch".

Finally, we can push the new branch to the remote repository and merge it into the master branch.

The above are several methods of retrieving Git code introduced in this article. I hope it can help developers who encounter the same problem. If you have other methods, please share them in the comment area.
