如何在 azure devops 中恢复丢失的文件

Question

a code file is missing from my repository and in visual studio I get the error "the item does not exist in the project director it might have been moved renamed or deleted" How can I recover the fileA?

Answer 1

If you deleted the fileA, the ways to restore a deleted file depends on how convinced you were at the time you really wanted the file to be deleted.

1 deleted a file but didn't commit

git checkout HEAD <filename>

This will work regardless of whether the deletion was staged or not. 2 deleted a file and committed the deletion

$ git reset --hard HEAD~1

3 committed the deletion and then did more commits

(1) check the history for the deleted file and get the commit hash

git log -- <filename>

For example:

(2) You can either work with the last commit that still had the file, or the commit that deleted the file

git checkout <commit hash> -- <filename>

git checkout <deletion commit hash>~1 -- <filename>

4 deleted a file,committed and pushed

git revert --no-commit <commit>

If you rename the fileA to a new name, please rename it to original name.
