How to get lost files back resulting from running git add and git restore -s@ -SW?

 How to get lost files back resulting from running git add and git restore -s@ -SW?

Problem: 

suppose you ran

$ git add .

then you ran

$ git status

and saw that you have added some files which you did not want to add. 

(You did not run 

$ git commit

)

then you wanted to remove them from the index.

In haste, you ran 

$ git restore -s@ -SW

resulting in those files are gone away from your working tree (resulted from -W).

You want to get them back.

Solution:

Run

$ git fsck --cach --no-reflogs --lost-found --unreachable head

You will get a list of SHA1, which point to your lost files.

Then run

$ git show SHA1 > name_of_lost_file

one by one, every lost file will now be in your current work directory!

How to create an alias command in git to display a log in graph?

How to create an alias command in git to display a log in graph?

$alias graph="git log --all --oneline --graph  --decorate"

(I find that it outputs the same as without '--decorate'.)

Note:

'--oneline' is a shorthand for both '--pretty=oneline' and  '--abbrev-commit' used together.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I find the 2 following commands are very helpful,

1.

$git log --all --oneline --graph

2.

$git show-branch --all --more=1000

(you can replace 1000 with any number, according to your requirements.)
