As the title says. I put the wrong value inside a clean up code and I wiped everything. I did not push any important work. I just want to cry but at least I can offer it to you.

Do not hesitate to push even if your project is in a broken state.

Do you at least have some local commits to get back to? Or did your job remove the .git folder as well? 👀

On top of that, the content of .git/objects/ is write protected, so even if you go rm -r, you'll get an additional warning.
