GIT：恢复到之前的提交后恢复未跟踪的文件

Question

I'm trying to restore untracked files that were deleted when I went back to my last commit.

I was in a hurry to revert to my previous commit after messing something up, so I used:

git reset HEAD --hard

and

git clean -fd

...The second command I didn't really intend to do, but I'd forgotten that I'd not started tracking a certain folder before my next commit. I put a few hours of work into the files in this particular folder--is it possible to get them back even though they were untracked? Thanks

If the folder was untracked, then it's gone after a git clean . If you have a file backup, you can use that to restore your lost folder, otherwise you're out of luck I'm afraid.
