git - Restore deleted files from commit -


i've done following series of steps , don't know how recover files.

  1. git add file.txt
  2. git commit -m "message"
  3. rm file.txt
  4. git commit -am "message"

ideally should have pushed changes after step 2 , delete forgot. there way recover file?

many thanks!

you can recover file previous revision checkout command:

git checkout head^ file.txt 

or, if haven't pushed commit yet, might rather want reset commit instead:

git reset --hard head^ 

this reset working tree same state of previous commit. changes after previous commit gone.

if don't want changes gone, undo act of commit itself, can reset without --hard option, , restore deleted file with:

git reset head^ git checkout file.txt
