Two things:

  1. Learning git reflog will save you from needing to worry about the sudden dread that comes from using reset hard in git.

  2. Using an proper git client will save you needing to use reset hard in the first place. I highly recommend the confusingly named: Fork. It's free the same way that sublime text and winzip are: about once a month it asks for you to buy it but you can click on the "I'm still just trying it out" to keep using it for free.
