88 PointsGit For iOS - Restoring Project After Accidentally Discarding Changes
Hey there, so I wanted to add github integration with my project so there was a proper work flow. I have been working on the project for 6-9 months.
I created a github account, and in Xcode I went to commit changes before linking the github repo as was done in the lesson.
However I got an error when committing, and accidentally discarded all changes. My project then went blank and the files disappeared.
I went into the trash and found a copy of my project, with what seems to be all the files (it also had the last save), I then restored it to the desktop and opened the project. However the project is blank and I am unsure why.
How can I restore my project after discarding the changes ?
Thanks.

4,867 PointsIf the repo on GitHub has content in it I would suggest pulling down the changes with a source control app such as SourceTree.
But, it sounds like you were never able to commit the project to git. So I would do the following:
- Create a new repo on GitHub
- Using SourceTree clone the repo to your local machine
- Take the copy of your project and paste it into the cloned repo that is on your machine
- Using SourceTree commit the changes and then push to master.
Hopefully this helps!
