Lost commits in git

Our remote git repository (on github) is showing '... authored 3 months ago', even though commits were made a few days ago.

Someone must have accidentally run a hard reset. Is there any way to find out the user who performed this operation?

If you're using GitHub Enterprise, you could figure out who made the blunder, because it allows you to audit repository events, including force push events:

In addition to the repository events mentioned above, every push to a repository is logged with the following information:

  • who performed the push
  • whether it was a force push or not
  • which branch was pushed to
  • which protocol was used
  • the originating IP address
  • which Git client was used

However, I don't think you can get access to such an audit trail with a free GitHub account.
