Recover the Deleted files from GIT OR SVN

Question

I had a folder structure with multiple projects in Visual Studio. I committed a few in my old Repo of SVN. And when I added a few more projects, we decided to move to Git.

While creating a new repo in Git and checking in, by mistake, I ran a Git reset --hard and it deleted all the files from local.

These files do not exist in either SVN or Git repo.

I tried to restore using the git fsck --lost-found, git show , git merge, git reflog. But none of that works. It always shows me the whole list of files in Deleted.

I ran the git show 4825b63f49cea10539a4c27a6287e195d3d087b2 > 4825b63f49cea10539a4c27a6287e195d3d087b2.txt after running git reflog. And the text file does contain all the files with its code. But I am not able to restore it.

Before I started with Git, the code was connected with SVN but may not be committed.

Is there any way I can restore the code from Git or SVN?

Answer 1

If 4825b63f49cea10539a4c27a6287e195d3d087b2 is a commit, you can try at least

cd /path/to/repo
git restore 4825b63f49cea10539a4c27a6287e195d3d087b2 -- .

See if the content of that commit is visible then.
