GIT-在GIT repo中还原已删除的文件

Posted 2021-02-23

Say I'm in a Git repository. I delete a file and commit that change. I continue working and make some more commits. Then, I find I need to restore that file.

/* Find the last commit that affected the given path. As the file isn't in the HEAD commit, this commit must have deleted it.*/
 
git rev-list -n 1 HEAD -- <file_path>
 
// Then checkout the version at the commit before
 
git checkout <deleting_commit>^ -- <file_path>
 
##############################################################################################
 
// Or in one command, if $file is the file in question.
 
git checkout $(git rev-list -n 1 HEAD -- <file_path>)^ -- <file_path>
