To find out the <code>sha</code> of the latest commit, run the command :
<pre><code class="lang-bash">$ git reflog
</code></pre>
It will provide all the <code>HEADs</code> of all branches. After this, simply run the command given below to recreate a branch using <code>sha</code> :
<pre><code class="lang-bash">$ git branch branchName &lt;sha&gt;
</code></pre>
Voila ! This is how you can restore local branches in GitHub 💡
<h2 id="worst-case">WORST CASE :</h2>
In my case, I re-installed the OS which resulted in deleting all the local branches of my repository. Even <code>git reflog</code> was not able to save me this time 😓. I lost <code>sha</code> of all the commits and all the local branches of my repository. So, after brainstorming, I landed up with the solution described below :
<pre><code class="lang-bash">$ git checkout master
# Switched to branch 'master'

$ git fetch --all
# updates local copies of remote branches

$ git branch -a
# List all your branches

$ git checkout branch-name
# Switched to branch 'branch-name'

$ git log
# View the commit history
</code></pre>
Note : This solution is also useful if you are cloning the repository on new/other laptop or you ended fucking up the re-base so badly that you deleted the repository and cloned a new one 😂 , which might result in deleting all the local branches of your repository and worst case, you even lost <code>sha</code> of the commits 🤷🏻‍♀️
Happy Git ! ❤️

To find out the **`sha`** of the latest commit, run the command :
```bash
$ git reflog
```

It will provide all the **`HEADs`** of all branches. After this, simply run the command given below to recreate a branch using **`sha`** :

```bash
$ git branch branchName <sha>
```

**Voila ! This is how you can restore local branches in GitHub 💡**
