Typical web developer. He didn’t even know files can be deleted without going into „recycle bin”
If the files were already staged then git should have blobs in the git folder, so they should be recoverable.
Did you read the thread? There was a bug that deleted all files even ones unassociated with git.
Sounds like they weren't even using version control, and had no business anywhere near a project that size.
i mean doesn't it just integrate with explorer/tortoisegit so all the files would go to the recycle bin anyway?
either that or this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/72695095
Step 1: Enter Ctrl + Shift + P on VSC
Step 2: Choose the option "Local History: Find Entry to Restore"
Step 3: Find the file which you want to restore
Step 4: Choose a time you save that file
Step 5: Copy file content and restore it
Screenshots of git issues are one of my favorite genres of meme
I agree with the "learn the CLI", but to newcomers I'll also suggest to look at the IDE/editor's output channel - if there's GUI for Git, there are also most likely logs for what's happening under the hood - even if a little noisy, it can be a good learning resource. And of course if you're learning and unsure of what's happening (with the CLI or through a GUI), do so in a non-destructive manner (by having proper backups).
Often times, people learn that the stove is hot by touching it.
It's easier to blame the stove than the person who touched it. But if you laugh when you watch it happen, you're probably not laughing at the stove.
