Hello,
I have got a very big trouble, so please help me if you can :(

I have done a git mv operation for a whole directory, so I have put it into another subfolder and all my uncommitted/unpushed source and header files were lost ... How can I regain them ?

So I did "git mv some-directory-containing-lots-of-uncommitted-changes total_different_folder/some-new-name". If I remember well then I did commit/push for that git mv operation.

git status doesn't show my changes either. Do I have any chance to avoid so that my boss fires me ?

Best Regards, Laszlo Papp
