You can look at git log to see recent commits. You could review the commit messages and use git diff to see what changed between commits. You might also check git reflog to see if there were any dangerous operations. You'd need to parse the output and understand what happened. I'd recommend looking at the commit history and then diving into specific changes that seem risky. What time period are you interested in?
