It should not be possible to +fully lose data. I suggest you run `git log +--stat` and see if a commit deleted all your files. If so, you can revert +that commit. + +If the git log really is only 4 commits deep, perhaps you got some other +branch checked out somehow. Run `git reflog` to see the history of what +branches have been checked out before, and you can use `git checkout` to go +back to one of those past checkouts. + +Or, failing all that, you showed a commit +a6362df13d728037875320a457182acb073d08ea which had one of your files, +so `git checkout a6362df13d728037875320a457182acb073d08ea` will check out +the tree as it appeared at the time of that commit. + +This is all git 101.
