I am very sorry to hear that! It might still be possible to recover the changes, though.

Just to be sure I tried to reproduce the issue (but used the most recent developer version), but all I could find is that it carried over local modifications and untracked files to the gitbutler/integration branch (instead of removing them).

In order to figure out what might have happened there, it would be very useful to get a peek at the logs. Maybe they contain errors that give a clue.

Thanks for your help!

Thank you for replying me,

I just tried again and realized that I might have pressed the delete button while trying to understand what was going on, which caused my changes to be deleted as well (my fault 😐).

I also want to suggest having a modal that warns users about losing uncommitted changes (there is a warning modal when you delete default branch, but not when you unapply it then delete). That would be helpful.

Here is the log in case you still need it: GitButler.log.2024-07-08.txt

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this!

It sounds like having a warning prior to deleting an unapplied branch would possibly have prevented this issue! CC'ing @PavelLaptev for this.
