Recovers lost git work and undoes mistakes safely. Use whenever the user says they lost commits, ran git reset --hard, deleted a branch, dropped a stash, committed on the wrong branch, broke a merge or rebase, force pushed, wants to undo a commit or a push, or asks how to get a file back from history, even if they only say "git ate my changes". Diagnoses with the reflog first, restores onto a new branch and never rewrites history without confirmation.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# git-recovery
Git rarely loses committed work. The reflog and unreachable objects hold almost everything, so the job is to find the right commit and put a branch on it before anything cleans it up.
```
git-recovery/
├── SKILL.md
├── scripts/
│ └── find_lost.sh list reflog, unreachable commits and stashes; restore onto a new branch
└── references/
└── undo-cookbook.md situation to command table, reset modes, safe habits
```
## When to use
- Commits disappeared after `reset`, `rebase`, `checkout` or a branch delete
- A stash was dropped or never applied
- Work was committed on the wrong branch
- A merge, rebase or pull went wrong
- Someone force pushed
- Something must be undone, locally or after a push
## Workflow
1. **Stop**: do not run `gc`, `prune`, further `reset --hard` or more experiments. Check `git status` so uncommitted changes are not overwritten.
2. **Look**: `bash scripts/find_lost.sh` (add `--grep "message words"` to narrow). It lists the reflog, unreachable commits and stashes with dates and subjects.
3. **Identify**: match by time and message, then `git show --stat <sha>` to confirm it is the right work.

How to install
mdr add mehranqadirian/skills/git-recovery@sha256:40d1afbcd5b9bfe0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.b6c2c2b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
