git checkout origin/my-branch-name -- ./path/to/deleted/file

You could find the commit when the file was deleted (it will log all deleted files and commits):

git log --diff-filter=D --summary

And then checkout the file:

git checkout <commit>~1 <filename>

There are two ways to get back those files:

1) if it's your recent commit then you simply reset its to get back your files. git reset HEAD~1

2) if its older commit then you can revert it by

git revert your_deleted_branch_commit_hash

Let me know if it resolved the issue

Thanks!

Use following commands if you have not pushed yet.

If you want your changes in staging area (ready to commit) use

git reset --soft HEAD^

This will remove your commit which is not pushed and put the changes in staging. if your remove the changes with commit use hard as an option

git reset --hard HEAD^
