I just made a stage with:
git add .
When I wanted to reset, I used:
git rm .
Suddenly all the files are deleted!! I thought that it should be just the tree-working deleted, it acted like I did :
rm -rf ./*
Why did it delete all the files? And what command should I have used instead?
All this reset did not work for me, and how I was scared! My situation: I had an empty repository and I had made 4 commits. What I needed to do was to go to a specific commit before the git rm took effect. So in my case, if the above does not work, try:
git log
git checkout <your-before-git-rm-commit>
