You cannot get back uncommitted changes in general.
Previously staged changes (git add) should be recoverable from index objects, so if you did, use git fsck --lost-found to locate the objects related to it. (This writes the objects to the .git/lost-found/ directory; from there you can use git show <filename> to see the contents of each file.)
