"git checkout HEAD ." Instead of "git reset HEAD ." Smeg! Just shoot me. I'm going to bed and restarting in the morning like today never happened.

My version of this is 'git checkout branchname path/to/file .' because I want to copy from the path to here. I've done it three times now.

It's like dropping a table in sql. No confirmation dialog. No warning. Just a silent "ok" and new console line.

git reflog to reclaim something at least?

@SortOfTested that's saved me more than once.

Or that sinking feeling of “ oops””

@SortOfTested who's a what now? I spent 20 min trying to see if i could undo what I did. Thanks for the tip, will need to check that out.
