You can't see its name, try it.
- occams_chainsaw 9y agoi absolutely can, though. i went through this recently, trying to get back to a commit from nearly a year ago in a repo i'd never touched before. the annoying part of getting it back was that you can't just do "checkout {name}" you have to do it by the SHA ID and then commit again by the original name, but before all that, you can 100% follow any since-deleted branch by its name. there's just a weird disconnect between viewing its history and having it directly in your hands again.
