Several months ago I did a refactoring of paths to several java modules. Now it seems that I have forgotten to move the src/test directory of one of the modules and instead deleted it...
How can I recover all these deleted files? Note that the path to the module where the files was located, is deleted, and I cannot remember the earlier path?
As explained in this answer you can find the last commit where the file/folder was modified with this command:
git log --full-history -- src/test
Once you find the commit where the file exists you can checkout it into your current working tree with as explained here:
git checkout <SHA>^ -- <path-to-file>
Note that <SHA> is the hash of the commit where the folder was deleted, so you make a checkout to the previous commit
