git checkout a branch, checkout back to first branch, now everything deleted in red

Question

I have a peculiar problem. I've been doing work on a branch on a project. I committed after my work and then I wanted to switch to another branch so I typed in git checkout <branchname> . When I immediately switched back to my initial branch using git checkout <firstbranchname> I ran git status and it gave me all of these in red:

...etc

Essentially saying that my entire project was deleted. WTF happened? All I did was checkout a branch and then checkout back to the first branch. I didn't even modify anything in the second branch before I switched back. When I open the project, all of the files I made are still there but all of the frameworks are now missing. What do I do to restore this? Again, all I did was checkout a branch. I'm venting right now because I get so gun shy with using git because I'm not that well experienced and then I do something small and the whole project comes crashing down. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: As a side note, when I run git log and checkout my latest commit that I just committed with all my work using git checkout <commit> it still says everything and frameworks are missing.

Answer 1

When "git status" says "deleted:" about a file, it means that this file is present in the git history (in the current local branch). So, to get your files back from git history to the file system use the below command:

git ls-files --deleted | xargs git checkout
