Steps to reproduce your issue
If you have files in a folder and then initiate-add-reset git
then you lose everything:
Run the following in your bash shell to see:
clear; \
[[ -d /tmp/evilgit ]] && rm -rdI /tmp/evilgit; \
mkdir /tmp/evilgit/; \
cd /tmp/evilgit/; \
echo "----------------- Create some files:"; \
pwd; \
echo -n "ls -l: "; \
touch a.txt b.txt c.txt; \
ls; \
echo "----------------- Now, init the repo:"; \
echo -n "git init: "; \
git init 2> /dev/null; \
echo "git add: a.txt b.txt c.txt"; \
git add ./*; \
echo -n "git reset --hard: "; \
git reset --hard; \
echo "\n----------------- Check files again:"; \
echo "ls -l: "; \
ls; \
echo "No files! " ; \
echo "\n----------------- Now, all the files we have created are gone!"; \
cd .. ; \
rm -rdI /tmp/evilgit
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
- Files created prior to repo aren't getting removed
- OR
- git user is warned that the files are going to get deleted if
resetting hard indexed ones
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
- Files are gone.
What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
- Pre-existing files should be kept
Anything else you want to add:
Please review the rest of the bug report below.
You can delete any lines you don't wish to share.

That's literally what you instructed git to do...
--hard really means that, reset I don't care YOLO, --force, just do it
mate.
>--hard
> Resets the index and working tree. Any changes to tracked files in the working tree since <commit> are discarded.
> Any untracked files or directories in the way of writing any tracked files are simply deleted.
In other words, the flag does exactly what it's meant to do.
Kind regards,
