As a part of Git restoring series, today we are going to look at how to restore a deleted Git commit. Without further ado follow the steps as described below.
Prerequisites
- Git
Solution
Step 1. List all commits:
git log
Once you find the commit SHA1 you have two options. Checkout or cherry-pick the commit. I would suggest the former one.
Step 2. Checkout the commit:
git checkout <commit-SHA1>
or, optionally cherry-pick it:
git cherry-pick <commit-SHA1>
