Git - What to do when an unwanted deletes happen in a remote repo?
- Try and restore branches from previously open pull requests in github web interface. Go to Pull Requests(tab) and then specific pull request. There are two buttons to click on Open pull request(button) at bottom of page. And there will be a restore PR button by
- resubmit from local
if Note: If you pull and see that your stuff is gone revert to previous commit and push that up to your branch.
Unwanted deletes just happened in github remote repo like https:github.com/rchain/rchain what do I do?
Example:
Wanted to just push my working local in entirety to my github repo. Did git push --mirror. and it ended up deleting stuff from upstream.
In this case, noted at bottom of this read, a push was accidentally deleting branches.
