I don't know if you're joking, but in case you're not:
git reflog
andgit 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.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—hard
flag to do any meaningful damage.
