title: Git how do I fix a bad/missing commit?
body: <p>I am brand new to Git, and I created a first repository, checked it out in IntelliJ, made my edits, and committed. The commit succeeded, and I got the id, however, IntelliJ used a different e-mail address (not the one that was in my credentials when I created the API token that it used, not sure where it got the e-mail address from)</p>
  
  <p>The commit contained 110 files, and I can not find it anywhere. When I log in to Github, only the original README and .gitignore files are there, unchanged. If I check out in IntelliJ, it checks out my 110 new files. What do I need to do to get these files to show up as part of my repository?</p>
