It's been so long since I used git I accidentally nuked my commit and only copy of client code during a revert.

How the fuck does anyone mess up that badly? 😅

    git push master -force

    Who knew that would be a potentially bad thing to do?

    There are times you "can" use force, but you should understand wtf you're about to do and the repercussions of you're actions are.

    Lost commits can still be retrieved from the reflog or even without it if you have a hash in some file or even the buffer of an open terminal. Eventually it'll sweep out all the unreferenced objects though so I'd hurry.

    @Lor-inc you know you're amazing sometimes?

    I thought it was gone for good.

    Guess I'll go digging.
