Recovering lost Git stashes is possible even after dropping or clearing stashes using reflog and fsck commands. As the creator of CoreUI with over 25 years of software development experience, I’ve recovered numerous accidentally dropped stashes. Git retains stashed changes as dangling commits for a period, allowing recovery after stash drop or clear operations. This approach ensures no work is permanently lost when stashes are accidentally removed.

Recovering deleted Git commits is possible because Git retains orphaned commits for a period even after they appear deleted. As the creator of CoreUI with over 25 years of software development experience, I’ve recovered countless accidentally deleted commits. Git’s reflog and fsck commands help locate and restore commits that seem lost after hard resets, rebases, or branch deletions. This approach ensures no work is permanently lost due to Git operations.
