| 0086e2c8 | 6 | git-lost-found - Recover lost refs that luckily have not yet been pruned. |
| 04e7ca1a JH |
7 | |
| 8 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 9 | -------- | |
| 0086e2c8 | 10 | 'git-lost-found' |
| 04e7ca1a JH |
11 | |
| 12 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 13 | ----------- | |
| 14 | Finds dangling commits and tags from the object database, and | |
| 07203659 JH |
15 | creates refs to them in .git/lost-found/ directory. Commits and |
| 16 | tags that dereference to commits go to .git/lost-found/commit | |
| 17 | and others are stored in .git/lost-found/other directory. | |

18 | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | OUTPUT | |
| 21 | ------ | |
| 22 | One line description from the commit and tag found along with | |
| 23 | their object name are printed on the standard output. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | ||
| 26 | EXAMPLE | |
| 27 | ------- | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | Suppose you run 'git tag -f' and mistyped the tag to overwrite. | |
| 30 | The ref to your tag is overwritten, but until you run 'git | |
| 31 | prune', it is still there. | |
| 32 | ||

| 39 | Also you can use gitk to browse how they relate to each other | |
| 40 | and existing (probably old) tags. | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | ------------ | |
| 07203659 | 43 | $ gitk $(cd .git/lost-found/commit && echo ??*) |

| 46 | After making sure that it is the object you are looking for, you | |
| 47 | can reconnect it to your regular .git/refs hierarchy. | |
