How can I recover a deleted file in Git when no Commit has been made Yet?
If no commit has been made yet and you delete a file, you can recover it using git checkout:
— <file_name> before staging or committing any changes.
This will restore the file to its last known state in the repository.
You can recover the file using the following methods:
Method 1: Using git restore
git restore <deleted-file-name>
This command will restore the deleted file to its previous state.
Method 2: Using git checkout
git checkout — <deleted-file-name>
This command will also restore the deleted file to its previous state.
Note:
Both of these methods will only work if you haven’t committed the deletion yet. If you’ve already committed the deletion, you’ll need to use git reset or git revert to recover the file.
Also, keep in mind that if you’ve made changes to the file before deleting it, those changes will be lost when you restore the file.
