git: How to recover uncommited changes from staged deleted file?

Question

I did with git:

git commit fileA

Then I edited fileA

Then I accidentally performed

git rm fileA

Is there a way to recover the fileA from after performing the git rm ? git reset and git checkout will discard my edits and get the fileA from after the commit.

Answer 1

No, there is no way to recover a file after you perform a git rm .

As you stated performing

git reset HEAD

or

git reset --hard HEAD

will revert back to the previous set of the file.
