Restore all files from the commit

Question

I accidentally deleted all the project files and now I want to get everything back through a commit. How do I do this?

Git log shows one commit(head). There is no project on GitHub and no local copies either. My only option is this commit.

i try it but i see "HEAD is now at 3beb868 My" when i write "git checkout 3beb868" — , Jul 07 '22 at 03:37
You have only one commit? and you deleted the files as part of that commit? — Chetan, Jul 07 '22 at 03:42
`git checkout .` should undo most changes but you may want to use something like VS Code to do this in a visual git UI. — JBallin, Jul 07 '22 at 03:49
Thanks to everyone, as a result, I figured out and restored the files from the commit via the path to git via the git UI in IJ. — , Jul 07 '22 at 04:39

To restore file, it is better to use the git restore command:

cd /path/to/repository
git restore -s <commitID> -- .
