Swift CLI to recover discarded changes from git on macOS
One day you're doing your usual git commands and all of a sudden you accidently discard all of your local changes and there's no way to recover all the progress you just made 👎. George Marmaridis came up with a clever solution to the problem here where you use TextEdit to browse all of the local versions of your file. I dug a little deeper and discovered that TextEdit uses the NSFileVersion API to browse all the local versions of a given file. Instead of having to manually open each file in your in TextEdit, git-recover will view all versions of every file in your repo to revert them back to the version you specify.
This tool will not recover files that were deleted or created locally before your changes were discarded
