HEY @revamper11
i think it can be done by doing this following :-

what should do we do restore the commits is there a way

Check the commit history Run:

git reflog

This will show a list of all recent changes, including commits that might have been overwritten.

Find the lost commit Look for the commit hash of the missing contributions.

Restore the commit

git checkout -b restored-branch <commit-hash>

If you want to apply the commit to your current branch:

git cherry-pick <commit-hash>

Push the restored commit

git push origin restored-branch
