Clone .git repo into current dir, without touching files
I have git repo where the .git is deleted. I didn't realize it until after I made some changes to the code. I want to re-create the `.git` by cloning. However I don't want it to touch the files that I already have. When the `.git` is cloned, I will run git checkout and it will detect my changes as normal. What is the command to do this?
