TestDisk can recover lost partitions of virtually any filesystem. Finally, I discovered TestDisk and PhotoRec, and was able to use the latter to recover my lost files.
I demoed a variety of commercial products to see if any of them could find my lost files or partitions. I did commit changes, but did not send them to the server (I'm on my own in this project).After the overwhelming feeling of dread passed, I started to look into file recovery options. Unfortunately after a month of down time due to health reasons I forgot my old habits of weekly backup and daily push to git. It would be great if Idea did not allow destroying the loaded project like this.
A moment later Idea froze because all project folders were wiped from disk. In my mind I thought I was taking the same steps as in point 2 even if the confirmation dialog was different. When fixing the issue in the second computer, instead of clicking the x I clicked the folder name and pressed DELETE and confirmed the dialog by pressing ENTER. Then I re-added the correct path which you see below.ģ. That removed the source project from the folder. To solve it in the first computer I did the right thing: click the little x on the right side of the screenshot. This unexpected path change happened in two different computers.Ģ. That's two folders above the project folder, and it contains hundreds of projects in different programming languages. The initial issue I had was that somehow that path you see below changed to /home/funpro/src/. I'll explain what happened step by step in case it can help someone avoid this or if it can bring a more obvious to Idea.ġ.
Folder structure and git history are lost and it was a very tedious process of reviewing thousands of files with no recognizable file names, but better than rewriting everything. Thanks to ext4magic I have recovered the files.
