How can I recover the file I deleted in git

Question

I am totally beginner to git. Now, my problem is I like to recover the file my friend deleted. I have the commit for it and it hasn't been pushed up yet. I have tried revert, rest, summary etc and they don't work for me. Help me out.

I don't remember the filename. So I like to know how to check the things done in a commit either. Please help me. Here is the commit's SHA

commit 0e3e0e85727f02ff1d23a42bdb994cb2ff7326dc

Answer 1

Following command will show all the changes in this commit, including your file.

git show 0e3e0e85727f02ff1d23a42bdb994cb2ff7326dc

or check out the commit to a new branch, then you can find the file in branch tmp

git checkout 0e3e0e85727f02ff1d23a42bdb994cb2ff7326dc -b tmp

Answer 2

If you want to reset till last commit you can do:

git reset --hard <commitId>

example - git reset --hard 0e3e0e85727f02ff1d23a42bdb994cb2ff7326dc

This should be fine
