Git + Rails: How to restore files deleted with “git rm -r”?

Question

I deleted my db folder in a rails application in with git rm -r

I\'ve tried

git reset HEAD

and

git reset --hard HEAD
<         


        

Answer 1

Try git reset --hard HEAD^1 (the commit just before HEAD). Or you can get the hash of a previous known working commit with git log, then git reset --hard .
