Re: Git crash in Ubuntu 12.04

Hi,

The git crashed during one of the commits by a developer I think, the
remote is not even showing the working branch. The local branch of is
all right, but the remote repo is corrupted and could not git fsck
also. Is restoring the last night's backup is my only option??

By commit, do you mean push?  I.e., something crashed while a push was
going on?

The recovery strategy depends a lot on how valuable/recoverable the work
that happened since the last backup was, but restoring from backup,
running 'git fsck' on all involved repos (including devs' workstations!)
and then having the devs re-push what they had locally seems like a good
strategy to me.
