I've made a massive mistake and deleted several files directly on my remote repository. I pulled these changes thinking I would only be pulling the still present files, however I lost all the files on my local repository that I had deleted on the remote one. This caused my maven project to break and I couldn't do anything with it anymore. Is there any way to revert my changes?

  • In the _History_ view right-click the commit before the commits you pulled and choose _Reset > Hard_. – howlger Aug 12 '18 at 14:52

General idea:

If your local files were committed, you can reset everything to before the git pull:

git reset --hard HEAD@{1}

See git reflog to make sure HEAD@{1} is the right commit.
See an example here.

For Eclipse itself, you can go first to the reflog view

Then you can right-click on a past commit, and select "Reset > Hard"

  • This answer requires the installation of the Git command line to execute a single command that can also be executed via EGit. – howlger Aug 12 '18 at 14:59
  • @howlger True: I have edited the answer accordingly. – VonC Aug 12 '18 at 15:03
  • I realized I completely forgot to mark this as answered. Reflog really helped, thanks so much. – Glanyx Sep 27 '18 at 13:07
