If you deleted multiple files locally and did not commit the changes, go to your local repository path, open the git shell and type.

$ git checkout HEAD .

All the deleted files before the last commit will be recovered.

Adding "." will recover all the deleted the files in the current repository, to their respective paths.

For more details checkout the documentation.

If you have deleted multiple files locally but not committed  you can force checkout     git checkout -f HEAD

Since git is a distributed VCS  your local repository contains all of the information  No downloading is necessary  you just need to extract the content you want from the repo at your fingertips   If you haven t committed the deletion  just check out the files from your current commit   git checkout HEAD  lt path gt    If you have committed the deletion  you need to check out the files from a commit that has them  Presumably it would be the previous commit   git checkout HEAD   lt path gt    but if it s n commits ago  use HEAD n  or simply fire up gitk  find the SHA1 of the appropriate commit  and paste it in

You need to check out a previous version from before you deleted the files  Try git checkout HEAD  to checkout the last revision

git checkout filename  git reset --hard might do the trick as well

Also  I add to do the following steps so that the git repo would be correctly linked with the IDE      git reset  lt commit   gt      git checkout  lt file path gt    I hope this was helpful
