At the beginning of the project I did it with AI CURSOR, then in the middle of the time I was doing manual coding, and then I returned to chat with AI CURSOR, a notification appeared I forgot the message, the point was related to (REVERT) I think continue and skip, after that all my files returned at the end of the conversation, my code manual coding just disappeared, please help
Hey! Unfortunately, Cursor’s checkpoints track only changes made by the Agent/AI, not manual code edits. When you clicked revert/restore checkpoint, the code went back to the state before your manual changes.
Try restoring your code with these methods:
- Git history (if you used it):
git reflogwill show all changes, even those reverted - Local History in Cursor: Right‑click the file > “Open Timeline” - shows local edit history
CMD/CTRL+Z- if the files weren’t closed, undo might still work
For the future: use Git to commit important changes. Checkpoints are meant for quick rollbacks of AI changes, not full version control.
Let me know if any of these helped you recover the code.
