How can I restore a directory I accidentally deleted in git (command line)?

I locally saved some files in my git directory on my computer yesterday. I must have played around with some git commands so that some text I wrote for my thesis that was is that directory is now gone along with its whole directory. Also some code I wrote.. I think it was never to be seen in the GitLab online website, telling me that it was never really saved in the git. But it isn't in my computer's local trash bin.

I have tried using git log but it does not show the directory I must have deleted. I also googled some options I have, including git reset and such. Nothing that gets me any further.

Did you track your directory with git? if so, you can try:

git reflog

And for your code, depending on the IDE you are using, you could get it back via the local history.
