Restore a deleted file in a Git repo
How do I restore a file I accidentally removed from my git repository? I know this is a trivial question, but I haven't found the answer in the documentation.

Did you commit after delete? If not you can commit and checkout the file back again. – piyer Dec 04 '09 at 07:22

git checkout <commit> <path>
Commits may be specified directly by SHA1, or via a branch or tag. Make sure that the represents the state of the repository when the deleted file was still present. If the commit argument is omitted, the currently checked out commit (HEAD) will be used.

I figured it was something trivially simple. I guess I interpreted the documentation as referring to complete trees rather than individual files. Thanks. – Steve Emmerson Dec 03 '09 at 23:14

4It *does* refer to complete trees *unless* you also give a file name. :) – Bombe Dec 04 '09 at 07:36
