Problem

We had a Git repo that was lost when the we forgot to back it up. One of us did a pull right before this happened and therefore has the latest code. Is it possible to rebuild the Git repo from a local copy of the sources? How?

Fix for: Restore Git from a local copy

Low Risk

Your local copy is a Git repository on its own, containing the entire commit history (although only of the branch). Creating an empty repository in the old location ( ), then running from the local copy should be sufficient.
