You can restore a deleted file from a Git repository using the git checkout command. If you do not know when a file was last deleted, you can use git rev-list to find the checksum of the commit in which that file was deleted.
If you have deleted the file and already committed the changes, you need to use the ` git checkout` command to restore the file. First, you need to find out the checksum of the commit that deleted the file, and then check out the file from the previous commit.
In the Files Changed list, click the file's hyperlink to navigate to the header of the file's change detail. In the right side of that header, click the 'View File' button to open the file details page for that file. On that file details page, click the 'Source' drop down button and select 'History'.
I have recently started using SourceTree to work with Bitbucket. I was working on a project, and then I decided I needed to move it to a different folder (for various reasons). So, I cut the files that I was working on in the repo, and then clicked the delete button in SourceTree, not realising that doing this would actually delete the files. I cut the files just in case, but didn't remember that pasting these files requires the original files to exist.
Now, I only have the files left from repo that SourceTree did not delete.. these are the files in the objects directory, and I do not have the info or pack folders that are inside the objects directory.
Is there any way that I can restore the files? I have taken a look at this question and this question, however I am new to git and cannot figure out how to actually do these.
Please help! How can I restore the files in the repo?
