Accidentally delete all my files using git command

Question

I didn't realize this would delete everything:

git clean -d -f -x

How do I recover the lost files after the command above?

edit:

my setup is virtualbox with ubutu as a virtual machine. I've deleted everything outside of the repo from my home directory :(((

and then use search monkey to find the files

Answer 2

Invoking git clean removes all files that are not controlled by git - meaning they were not committed before. Therefore they were not stored in repository at all, and cannot be recovered.

Answer 3

It doesn't delete everything; it only delete untracked files (the ones that aren't in the repository).

git can't possibly restore files that aren't in the repository.

Answer 4

There is no recovering files after using git clean in your repository.
