Git：如何通过整个历史记录检出所有已删除的文件

Question

我想通过整个历史记录恢复所有已删除的文件，这意味着在删除它的提交之前将文件签出到提交？

Within a bash context*, you can get a sorted list of all deleted files from your repo with

git log --all --diff-filter=D --name-only --pretty=format:'' | sort | uniq

where

--all means log all commits, regardless of the current position of HEAD

--diff-filter=D filters displayed commits along this condition : " D ", meaning "deleted"

--name-only outputs the names of the files

--pretty=format:'' shuts down any other output than file names

and the git command then formed returns a list which is sent to

| sort | sort to sort the list alphabetically, and then

| uniq | uniq to keep only one instance for each doubled line (or else a file deleted then re-created then re-deleted would appear twice in the list)

Of course, you might also want to restrict the range to take into account for the history traversal. If you need only commits which were deleted from, let's say, branch super-feature , add that as the <revision range> for log (see doc ) which, when omitted, falls back to HEAD :

git log --all --diff-filter=D --name-only --pretty=format:'' master..super-feature | sort | uniq
