The person didn’t have any git repository; probably a new programmer that didn’t know how version control works and just clicked discard without understanding what that means in this situation.
Just curious, git doesn't touch untracked files though?
'git reset' won't. 'git clean', on the other hand, most certainly does. Even then you have to --force it by default, to prevent an accidental clean.
Thanks, didn't know!
