Hey there, that's really frustrating. Losing work like that is the worst. Let's see if we can get this sorted.

First off, don't panic. Your uncommitted changes are probably still there, the codespace is just having trouble starting up.

A couple of things you can try:

Give it another go: Sometimes it's just a temporary glitch. Try opening the codespace again after a few minutes.

Check your resources: Make sure you haven't hit a storage limit on your account. That can sometimes cause issues.

Try a different browser: It's a long shot, but occasionally browser extensions or cache can interfere. Opening it in an incognito window or a different browser can help rule that out.

The nuclear option: If nothing else works, you might have to create a brand new codespace for the same repository. It's not ideal, but often when a codespace gets corrupted, this is the only fix.

I know you're worried about your unpushed changes. If you can get the codespace to stay open even for a few seconds, your absolute first priority is to run git stash. This will save your work even if you can't make a full commit yet.

If you still can't get in, your best bet is to contact GitHub Support directly. They can look at the logs for your specific codespace and might have a way to recover it. They're usually pretty helpful with this kind of thing.

Really hope you get your work back. Let me know how it goes.
