Hello @jguhlin, thanks a lot for reporting this!
Sorry for the inconvenience.

now getting this issue and unable to recover the data

Are you able to go back to a previous state to recover the data? If you hit Ctrl + Z you should be able to see the history snapshots, and revert to the point before applying the branch.
Hopefully that allows you to recover the lost data 🤞.

As to the actual issue, could you help me out with some more details?

• What was the branch name? (if you can share)
• Was this branch created with GitButler or manually through git (local or remote branch)?

In the mean time I'll try to reproduce this state

Originally it was Rust-Threads-Experiment https://github.com/jguhlin/minimap2-rs/tree/Rust-Threads-Experiment Now it seems to be a uuid of some sort. Created through GitButler.

Interesting.

Will take a look. Maybe @krlvi also knows what might be happening here

Thanks for the ctrl-z tip. I had moved past it now. I had most of it committed, so just deleted the local branches and applies the other, and re-did the changes.
