I had my project pretty much completed, and decided to put it into github.  Created a repository there, and tried to do a push.  It said I needed to do a pull first.  Well, ok... so I did.  My entire project is now gone.

Please, can you help my by restoring the project to a previous state?

Hello Frank,

You have most likely chosen to create your repository with a README.md file and that is why it requested a pull first. Either way, the pull operation cannot delete your project and if there was a README.md already in this project, it would have been indicated as conflict that you should resolve manually. So, in short, we're not sure what has gone wrong with your project, but a pull/push operation cannot cause the damage you refer to.

If you already had commits in your project, you can use the History to rollback to a previous state of your repository. If not, we would need the name of your project and the date from which you want the backup.
