how to restore changes because GitHub force?

[pooulad]

If GitHub has forced changes or you need to restore previous changes, you can recover them depending on the situation:

1. Restoring from Local Repository

If the changes exist locally:

• Use bash git reflog to find the commit hash of the previous state.

• Run bash git reset --hard to revert the repository to that state.

2. Using GitHub's UI

If the changes are in a branch or pull request:

• Navigate to the specific branch or pull request in the GitHub repository.

• Use the History section to view previous commits.

• Create a new branch or revert directly from the UI using the "Revert" option available on specific commits.

3. Restoring Deleted Branches

If a branch was deleted:

• Check if the branch exists locally with git branch.

• If it does, push it back to GitHub using git push origin .

• If not, check the reflog (git reflog) for commits related to the branch.

4. Undoing Forced Changes from GitHub Actions

If a GitHub Action or a collaborator force-pushed changes:

• Use the repository's history to locate the state before the force-push.

• Fetch the commit hash and reset or create a new branch to restore that state.
