1. Recover .gitignore and .gitattributes: Check Recycle Bin/Trash: Look for the deleted .gitignore and .gitattributes files in your Recycle Bin or Trash and restore them if found. File Recovery Software: If not in the Recycle Bin, try using file recovery software (like Recuva or TestDisk) to recover them. Remote Repository: If you have a remote Git repository, you can clone or fetch the latest version to get back the .gitignore and .gitattributes files. 2. Restore Previous Commit: Once you have the .gitignore and .gitattributes files back, use git reflog to find the commit before you deleted them. Use git reset --hard <commit-hash> to restore your project to that previous state. 3. Check for Untracked Files: After restoring the previous commit, check if there are any untracked files in your project directory using git status. If you find your lost code files among the untracked files, add them back to Git using git add. and commit the changes.

Has this scenario happened to you? .gitignore Removed: When you deleted the .gitignore file, files previously ignored by Git (like build artifacts, temporary files, or dependencies) became tracked. .gitattributes Removed: Deleting .gitattributes might have affected how Git handles line endings or other file attributes, potentially leading to unexpected changes in your working directory. Git Commands: If you executed commands like git add., git commit -m "some message", and git push, those previously ignored files would have been added to your Git history, potentially overwriting your actual code files with unintended changes.

Try this Check Your Local Files: Look for your yesterday's code in your project directory. Since git rm --cached doesn't delete the files from your computer, they should still be there. If you find them, add them back to git: Bash git add. # Adds all changes in the current directory and its subdirectories git commit -m "Recover lost changes"

To address this issue, you have a few options: Environment Variables: Store the API key in an environment variable and access it using System.getenv() instead of directly reading it from the application.properties file. This way, the key will not be included in your repository. .gitignore: Exclude the application.properties file from being pushed to GitHub by adding it to a .gitignore file in the project root. This prevents the file from being visible to anyone who doesn't have direct access to your local machine. External Configuration: Store the API key in an external configuration file (e.g., a properties file or JSON file) that is not committed to your repository. Your application can then read the key from this file at runtime. Secrets Manager: Use a secrets manager service like Vault or AWS Secrets Manager to securely store and retrieve the API key. This provides a more robust and centralized solution for managing sensitive data. Masking the API Key: Consider masking the API key in the output of Git commands like git diff or git log. This can help reduce the visibility of the key, even though it's still technically in the repository. Choose the approach that best suits your project's requirements and security needs.
