Background & analysis
A developer reported in a GitHub issue that Claude Code ran git reset --hard origin/main on its own, within roughly one second of a session starting. The reset happened on two consecutive mornings while the developer was debugging an FPGA RDMA driver.
According to the issue, the first incident took place on March 12, 2026, when Claude Code reset the repository to origin/main at startup without any prompt, destroying commits the developer had made locally but never pushed. Most of that work was recovered from git reflog.
The second occurrence came the following morning, and this time the work could not be recovered. The reported material does not say how the issue was subsequently resolved, so the matter currently stands at this point.

He was debugging an FPGA RDMA driver at the time.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
