I don't understand exactly what you want to do, but here are the basics- you can decide what you want to do. 1. Use `git reflog` to see a history of your operations. 2. If you want your working copy to switch to an existing commit, use `git checkout <SHA1 of commit>`. 3. If you want to irreversibly destroy everything and switch your working copy to a desired commit, use `git reset --hard <SHA1 of commit>`. Use with care!
Hope that helps.

... and: 0. In "emergency recovery situations", _back up your whole source dir (including .git subdir) somewhere else before screwing around_!
E.g., "cp -a my_src_dir /somewhere_else/my_src_dir_backup"

IMHO the very first step should be to run "git status" and see what it says. With that information it would be much easier to recommend further steps.
