egit commit lost after checkout

Using egit, I wanted to switch back to a previous version just for some minutes. So I committed my new code and checked out an earlier version.

Now that I have finished looking through the older stuff, I want to go "back" to the newest, local commit from before. However, History view seems to have forgotten that I made a commit just before, going back is not possible.

Also, Team->Replace with->Commit doesn't offer my latest commit. It seems like the commit was overwritten. Where did it go?

Solution

  • Using Team->Reset, it's possible to go back to your local commits:
