# Data Loss Recovery Guide
If you lost changes due to the auto-resolve bug (fixed in v0.1.74), follow these steps:
## Step 1: Find Your Lost Commit
```bash
cd /path/to/your/repo
# Search reflog for your commit hash (you saw this in "Updated metadata")
# Or search by commit message
# Or just look at recent HEAD movements
## Step 2: Verify the Commit Has Your Changes
```bash
# Show the commit content (replace with your hash)
git show fac186c3
# This should show your changes!
```
## Step 3: Recover Your Changes
### Option A: Cherry-pick the commit back
```bash
# Checkout your branch
git checkout feat-add-base-component-class
# Cherry-pick your lost commit
git cherry-pick fac186c3
# Update the stack metadata
ca entry amend --all --restack
```
### Option B: Reset your branch to the good commit
```bash
# Checkout your branch
git checkout feat-add-base-component-class
# Hard reset to your good commit
git reset --hard fac186c3
# Update the stack metadata
ca push # This will update the stack entry with the correct hash
```
### Option C: Create a new branch from the good commit
```bash
# Create a new branch from your good commit
git checkout -b feat-add-base-component-class-recovered fac186c3
# Delete the old branch
git branch -D feat-add-base-component-class
# Rename the recovered branch
git branch -m feat-add-base-component-class
# Update stack
ca push
```
## Step 4: Check for Backup Files
```bash
# Look for .cascade-backup files
find . -name "*.cascade-backup" -type f
# These contain original file content before auto-resolution
# Compare with current files to see what was changed
```
## Step 5: Force Push to Update PR
```bash
# After recovering your changes
git push --force-with-lease origin feat-add-base-component-class
# Or use cascade
ca sync # With the fixed version, this should work correctly now
```
## Prevention
Update to cascade v0.1.74 or later, which fixes the auto-resolve bugs:
```bash
brew upgrade cascade-cli
cd /path/to/your/repo
ca hooks uninstall --all
ca hooks install
```
## If Reflog Doesn't Have It
If the commit is not in reflog, check:
1. **Your working branch**: `git log SBN-18037/create-base-component-classes`
2. **Remote backup**: `git log origin/feat-add-base-component-class`
3. **Bitbucket PR**: The PR might still have the old commit visible in its history
## Need Help?
If you can't recover your changes, provide:
- Output of `git reflog | head -30`
- The commit hashes you saw in the "Updated metadata" message
- Your branch name
We can help you recover it!
