How can i recover my old website?

[HenriqueRamos13]

I own a domain that doesn't arise where I accidentally pushed and overwrote an old project that was not saved in git (I don't know why I didn't use git). Does surge have any kind of commits to recover old files?

I'm currently trying the development version triggered by another issue, and the help is:

PS C:\Users\balloon> surge --help

  Main Usage:
    surge <project-path> <domain>       publish project to domain

  Project Commands:
    surge cutover <preview>             change to latest revision
    surge discard <preview>             remove revision from system
    surge rollfore <domain>             change to next revision
    surge rollback <domain>             change to previous revision
    surge teardown <domain>             tear down a published project
    surge invite <domain> <emails>      invites user to be a contributor
    surge revoke <domain> <emails>      revokes contributor rights
    surge list <domain>                 list all revisions
    surge ssl <domain> <pempath>        publish .pem file for SSL support

@sintaxi Have you already implemented rollback? Will it be implemented now?

  When in doubt, run surge from within your project directory.

and rollback:

  hr@Ft lead % surge rollback https://www.domain.com.br

  Running as hramos13@gmail.com (Student)

   Aborted - No such file or directory: rollback

Yes. You still have too fast an action. Please wait for comments from the developers.

@HenriqueRamos13 yes! surge has this in the upcoming release which you can install and test out.

1. Install the preview release of surge by running npm install -g surge@edge. This will install version 0.23.0-rc.3 which you can check by running surge --version.
2. Run surge list www.domain.com.br to see all previous versions of your site.
3. Run surge rollback www.domain.com.br to rollback to the version you want. Changes are instant.
4. Running surge rollfore www.domain.com.br will do the opposite.
5. Running surge discard 123456789.www.domain.com.brwill discard the release 123456789.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

@sintaxi It worked! But is it possible for me to get the files from this site? Like a git clone, because the site is back to normal but the files are still the most recent

Unfortunately it is not a feature of Surge. But you can: https://www.google.com/search?q=site+downloader

From here on, it's not what Surge supports, so you're good enough to close it.
