I had one commit on my machine, but not on the remote repo yet. I wanted to pull and rebase before pushing: tabdulradi@radian-XPS:~/workspace/myproject$ git pull --rebase remote: Counting objects: 66, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (60/60), done. remote: Total 66 (delta 4), reused 25 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (66/66), done. From github.com:CompanyAccount/myproject + 87f93aa...629fe47 master -> origin/master (forced update) This "forced update" suggests you have your refspecs configured to do an overwrite on the fetch stage, so you would loose you own local commits if they aren't on a separate branch. First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... This is all what I got! Nothing like "Applying: ..."! I checked `git log`, didn't find my commit! So I thought may be I should merge a conflict or something tabdulradi@radian-XPS:~/workspace/myproject$ git mergetool -y No files need merging Whops? I was expecting here either a merge, or my commit to be on top of the log. So, I checked the reflog tabdulradi@radian-XPS:~/workspace/myproject$ git reflog 629fe47 HEAD@{0}: rebase finished: returning to refs/heads/master 629fe47 HEAD@{1}: checkout: moving from master to 629fe47ab72ada1f02238c869fa016dceee215bf^0 87f93aa HEAD@{2}: commit (amend): My Lost Commit 060ef00 HEAD@{3}: commit: My Lost Commit I rescued the code by doing a cherry-pick on my commit (87f93aa), and I got a merge conflict But I wanted to know what wrong I did here, Why git skipped my commit silently. It wasn't silent, you just didn't notice the message ;-) Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" Philip -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
