How to revert an unnecessary "git reset HEAD~1"

Question

After running git reset HEAD~1, I noticed that actually there was nothing else to do and the commit was fine. Is there a way to revert this command?

Answer 1

You can use:

git reset HEAD@{1}

This uses the last entry in the reflog. See git reflog if you did other things in between.
