Unable to Git Pull to update my Git local repo

Question

I removed a file in my local Git repo. I want the file back by updating my Git repo.

I run the following unsuccessfully

git pull

It says upToDate, but I did not get the newest file. The public repo at github does not use SVN, so the problem cannot be SVN.

How can you update your local Git repo , such that you get your removed File back to your computer?

Answer 1

如果还没有提交：

 git checkout path/to/file

Answer 2

August has the probably best way for your problem.

You could also revert to the last version you pulled:

git reset --hard
