title: "git rm -r ." deleted my project
body: <p>I had a project directory that wouldn't upload to git. I was trying to remove the origin to add a new origin. Somehow this command deleted all of my project files and I spent about 100 hours making. How can I get them back? </p>
  
  <p>I also deleted the git repository after doing this lol</p>
  
  <p>The page said <code>git rm</code> will not delete files from the local machine. What a lie!</p>
