Return uncommitted changes after "git checkout"

Question

I had some changes on master and then I created a branch where I added all my changes. Then, I went back to master to remove the changes that I did. I entered git checkout . which unstaged all of my changes on master and the branch.

Any ideas?

I have many ideas - yesterday I thought of a machine that (un)shells pumpkin seeds, and the day before that I had a good idea of how my bike's suspension got damaged. Why do you ask? — pishpish, Nov 25 '18 at 14:17
@Karam what are you exactly asking? To "revert" the `git checkout .` command? — double-beep, Nov 26 '18 at 13:29

Unfortunately, no, you can't "revert" the git checkout . command you entered. Your changes are gone, sorry :(.

Please check git-undoing-things for more information.
