get uncommited changes back in a branch

Question

I changed files on a branch, let's call it foo, and then added them to track:

git add folder/

However, I forgot to commit and forced checkout to another branch.

Is there any way to get those uncommited changes on foo branch back?

Answer 1

No.
By forcing checkout, you destroyed your changes.

In general, --force or --hard in git means that you're destroying something.

Instead, you should have git stashed first.
