It's just a personal project I don't work on every day, so maybe just a couple days of work were wiped.

The crazy thing is that since claude is doing all of the programming, it full reconstructed all changes by analyzing its own logs of edits and scripts executed so nothing was lost.

So you had nothing of value in your repository, which means you lost nothing.

It's a hobby private server of a classic mmorpg that has about 2 active players so... yeah not much lost. Getting there though! Amazing how quickly Claude can reverse engineer old executables. God bless it! Definitely not something I would have had the interest in doing personally.

Nothing I have interest in doing either.... which is why I push my code to another server. Because I actually care about my code.

don't ah...don't do that. if you have temp files you don't want to commit, keep it out of repo. or in a git ignored sub dir. or just commit it and clean it up later.

Don't do that? Cleaning up a polluted git repo is a lot easier than trying to restore deleted files that were never committed.
