Question

Body

There is a github repo A which was forked from my repo B. Both are public repos. Repo A had 14 commits changes which I wanted to merge with mine. but i mistakenly clicked on discard button and all commits are deleted. is there a way to restore 14 commits back?

Try using "git reflog" to see if it is recorded in your history. If it is then select the commit you want to restore by typing the command line below.

git checkout main
git cherry-pick <commit_hash>
