Who hasn't ;)
Happened to me last time because i tried a command supposed to
remove untracked files in submodules...but used "reset" in a
wrong way... ouch.
Since then I always access git via mercurial. In comparison
Mercurial is far better a VCS tool.
I use git gui (i find other GUIs slower even if nicer) but
even...there are few commands to know:
- checkout /*select a branch or a commit in the history*/
- commit /*validate changes*/
- pull /*get upstream changes*/
- push /*send upstream changes*/
- rebase /*squash - fixup*/
- stash /*backup before pull in case of...*/
you can live with that.
