How do I pull missing file back into my branch

Question

I have cloned git project into local git repository. Then I have done something nasty to one of the files and in that panic I deleted file physically from drive (rm style.

Answer 1

If you want to restore all the missing files from the local repository

git checkout .

Warning: This method also restores all changed files and drops all the changes

Answer 2

Use git checkout. In your case:

git checkout origin/master style.css

This command will update the requested file from the given branch (here the remote branch origin/master).

Hope this helps

Answer 3

Go to the location of style.css (may be app/css/ )using console otherwise there will be pathspec error.

then execute :

git checkout origin/master style.css

Answer 4

I intentionally deleted some files from a clone --depth 1 and this brought the main files, and submodule ones, back.

git checkout . -f && git submodule update --checkout -f
