Editing Restoring deleted files in Git (section)

== Recovery Methods ==

=== Method 1: Via Fork Right-Click Menu ===

Using [https://git-fork.com/ Fork Git client], right-click on <code>Deleted.file</code> and select '''Reset File to'''.

# Right-click the deleted file
# Select '''Reset File to''' → <code>State at Commit...</code> or <code>State Before Commit...</code>
* <code>State at Commit...</code> → Restore to the state at a specific commit
* <code>State Before Commit...</code> → Restore to the state before that commit

> '''Tip:''' Use the menu directly and click <code>State Before Commit...</code> to quickly restore the file to its state before deletion.

=== Method 2: Command Line ===

> '''Note:''' The file path must match exactly (case-sensitive, directory levels must be consistent).

# Restore from the latest commit:
<pre lang="bash">
git checkout HEAD -- sub_folder/Deleted.file
</pre>

# Or restore from a specific commit (using commit hash):
<pre lang="bash">
git checkout <commit_hash> -- sub_folder/Deleted.file
</pre>

=== Method 3: Restore from Local Changes ===

If the file still appears as deleted in '''Local Changes''':

# Click '''Local Changes''' in the left panel
# Locate the file
# Right-click → '''Discard Changes'''
