How to restore files that were removed by git?

I am a git noob and git just deleted a bunch of important files. How do I get them back?

I have a repo on my local machine. To get into git, I just right click my project folder and select "git bash here". This brings up the master where I do all my giting.

So I had some changes to stage and I did:

git add .

This staged a bunch of changes. I noticed that I didn't want some of these staged so I decided that I'd try to unstage everthing. I did this:

git reset --hard HEAD^

This basically deleted a bunch of files that I had made on the last commit and jumped to the commit before.

How do I get those files back? If I can't do it through git is there another way?


I stand corrected regarding my original advice (see edit history). As penance, I've tracked down the simplest way to recover your lost files from git:

git fsck --lost-found
ls .git/lost-found/other

Unfortunately, the filenames are lost, but the contents should all be there as distinct files.


No, with

git reset --hard HEAD^

the changes are reverted back to the last commit and lost permanently.


It sounds like you want the old HEAD (as opposed to HEAD^), in which case you can simply check out that revision. Use git reflog to show the previous HEADs and look for the commit you want, then check it out.

If you want the files that you staged before the reset, see the other answers.
