edit:

i ran 1 more command following output. not sure means

do have write entire code again!?

after long discussion in chat, turns out earlier commit (with log message "implement chat services" still visible in reflog. (you had said in question wasn't, missed seeing it). need (and have done, know chat) is:

git reflog 

about ten lines down in reflog, you'll see "a8d4aa0 head@{12}: commit: implement chat services". commit hash needed a8d4aa0. can do:

git checkout -b new-branch-name a8d4aa0 

now commit safe on new branch, , ready merged or rebased needed.

by way, findable via git fsck --no-reflog; gave when said "unfortunately these commits old commits think craeted way before ones lost". here's line git fsck --no-reflog output posted:

dangling commit a8d4aa02b375cb3e04b90033a1a9d17697f6583d 

if had run git show a8d4aa02b375cb3e04b90033a1a9d17697f6583d, have found commit.

lesson: when looking lost commits, never give up. never surrender. (thanks, galaxy quest!)
