I don't know if you're joking, but in case you're not: git reflog and git reset --hard HEAD@{n} is your friend. You can undo almost anything. Deleted commits and branches aren't really deleted. Remotely deleted branches can be pushed again.

Except for an (accidental) git restore/git reset. Those are permanent and can't be undone.

Even git reset can be undone by a lot of editors. At least IntelliJ has an excellent local history that works much like git. Sure it’s a pain if you touched several files but that’ll teach you to atomify your commits.

Edit: Plus, git reset itself does nothing of note really, but I’m sure you know. Needs the —hardflag to do any meaningful damage.
