Retrieve missing files from remote repo?

Question

I accidentally deleted a few files from my local git repo.

I have not pushed this change to the remote.

Is there a easy way to get these files back from the remo

Answer 1

You should just be able to either revert the commit with the deletions, or reset HEAD to the commit before you did the deletes, depending on whether you want to keep the deletions in the history or not.

Alternatively, if you haven't committed the deletes yet, you can just checkout the deleted files to restore them from your local repo.
