Git safety and recovery

Git recovery starts with preserving evidence and choosing a reversible operation, not resetting a working tree blindly.

Git safety and recovery
Studio interface in English. Sample data.

Steps

  1. Run git status, git diff, and a short git log to identify the exact state.
  2. Save important untracked or uncommitted files before attempting recovery.
  3. Prefer a new commit or git revert for shared history, and target individual paths when possible.
  4. Run the project checks and inspect status again after recovery.

Expected result

The repository returns to a known state without erasing unrelated user work.

Note: A Foxora checkpoint restores eligible workspace files but does not move Git HEAD. Avoid destructive reset or clean commands unless explicitly required and backed up.
