title: Files missing in Git repository
body: <ul>
  <li><p>I made an empty private repository called
  "clonedRepo" .</p></li>
  <li><p>Then I cloned the empty repository locally on my machine under the
  folder htdocs.</p></li>
  <li><p>Then I dragged a folder called "codebase" that had all the code under
  the cloned empty repo "clonedRepo".</p></li>
  <li><p>Then I used the Github app for Mac OS X to commit and push all the
  code under the folder "codebase" to "clonedRepo" but the commit
  failed because a couple of video files were too large which is fair
  enough.</p></li>
  <li><p>I clicked the undo commit button.</p></li>
  <li><p>But all of a sudden all the files under "codebase" were gone. The
  directories remain but the files are gone.</p></li>
  <li><p>I tried "git stash list" for this local repo in the terminal but that
  just returns the default command prompt.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I didn't have backup of this code and its really important to me because I've been working on this since weeks but making it again from scratch will be time-consuming and mundane. Any idea how I could get it back? I didn't delete the local cloned repo or anything inside it. The local repo displays itself as being worth 302 MB but contains visible stuff worth only 46KB. Please help.</p>
