Git Repo recovery

I will try to explain my situation the best I can.

I had to format my computer (Mac mini / running mavericks). Later, while I'm resorting the backup I realized my last project isn't there.

Does someone know how can I recover the project ? I was using git on my computer but I didn't push the repo (sadly). I don't know if that gives me any kind of advantage to recover the files.

I'm really lost here... don't know what to do!

Thanks

Solution

  • Depending on the kind of reformat, tools (like for instance Yodot Mac Data Recovery not free, but there are others) might be able to recover those files.
    If the Time Machine partition wasn't erased, the git repo might be there too.

    But other than that, a git repo is just a collection of files, and wouldn't be any more or less recoverable than any other group of files.
