title: How do undo "discard all changes" on atom with github integration (Windows)
body: <p>I was using atom text editor with a github integration when I somehow found myself with all my local personal desktop files (videos, images, notes, etc.) in the "unstaged" area. To get rid of it I clicked "discard changes" for all the files which removed them from my desktop and subsequent folders. </p>
  
  <p>After realizing the fatal mistake I made the next day. I noticed a slightly transparent folder on my desktop labeled .git which is about 20gb worth now. I have looked into other posts but they haven't been much help. I've already closed atom and re-opened it, and pushed a request through last night, so simply clicking undo discard doesn't work. I was thinking about system restore, but maybe as a last resort.</p>
