Hi Git List,

I would like to share a tool for recovery an unpublished Git repository after accidental removal or file system failure. VCS usually implies backup feature auto of the box, but due to Git decentralized nature and developer's laziness source code sometimes can be lost. Recently I accidentally deleted all projects, including a few unpulished POCs, after infamous rm -rf * typo. Work on them has been interrupted for quite awhile and rewriting them from scratch recalling all the hack intricacies would be terribly boring. So I decided to invest my dev time in a more creative way.
