+## I accidentally did a hard reset, and I want my changes back
+
+If you accidentally do `git reset --hard`, you can normally still get your commit back, as git keeps a log of everything for a few days.
+
+```sh
+$(master) git reflog
+```
+
+You'll see a list of your past commits, and a commit for the reset. Choose the SHA of the commit you want to return to, and reset again:
+
+```sh
+$(master) git reset --hard SHA1234
+```
+
+And you should be good to go.
