Restore Deleted Git Branch
This solution works only if too much time hasn't been passed since the branch was deleted.
If you have accidently deleted a branch in your Git repository, you will see something like this in your terminal:
Syntax of Branch deleted message in terminal:
Deleted branch <branch-name> (was ).
Example: Deleted branch test (was 5756a8c06).
To restore the above deleted branch, use the command as follows:
Syntax
git checkout -b <branch-name> <sha>
Example: git checkout -b test 5756a8c06
If you do not know the <sha> of the deleted branch, then you can use the Reflog tool of Git to find the <sha> from the local records of sha.
Example
git reflog
To restore the branch, you can use the following command:
Syntax
git checkout -b <branch-name> <sha>
Example: git checkout -b test 5756a8c06
