Exam AZ-400 topic 5 question 30 discussion

TESTED: git log git checkout [hash]~1 git commit -m 'undeleted file'

The question says "you continue to work" after you committed the deletion, which means you have in progress changes. In order not to lose those changes, you would need to run a git stash command. To get the hash of the commit that deleted the file, run git log. git checkout [hash]~1 will get 1 commit prior to the commit that deleted the file, which will recover the file. git restore is not needed. So I think the right answer is: git stash git log git checkout [hash]~1

You use Git for source control. You delete a file, commit the changes, and continue to work. You need to recover the deleted file. Which three commands should you run in sequence?

Log Checkout Commit - Og Checkout that Comet

Find the commit hash where the file was last changed: Use git log with the path to the deleted file to find the commit where it was last changed. git log -- [file_path] This will return a list of commits affecting that file. Take note of the commit hash of the commit just before the file was deleted. Restore the deleted file: Use git restore followed by the source option -s or --source and the commit hash, then the path to the deleted file to restore it. git restore -s [commit_hash]^ -- [file_path] The caret (^) symbol refers to the parent commit, effectively restoring the file to its state in the commit just before it was deleted. Commit the restored file: Finally, commit the changes to add the restored file back into your current working branch. git commit -m "Restored [file_path]" if you use the git restore command, you don't need to use git checkout to restore a deleted file. The git restore command is a more modern and direct way to recover deleted files or reset modified ones. It's designed to make this process simpler and more intuitive.

git restore will restore the file to the last committed version, effectively undoing any changes that have been made since then, but we already got to the file using the git checkout, so the correct order should be git stash (to save current work, optional) git log git checkout git commit

This question is such a troll. In a REAL project, the FIRST thing you would do is STASH any work in progress you have. Then, you do a git LOG to see the previous commits. Then, you identify the faulty commit, and do a git CHECKOUT of the prior commit Then, you will do a git COMMIT, to commit the deleted file back to the repo. This question needs serious updating.

git log git checkout <commit> -- <file> git add <file> git commit -m "Recover deleted file"

git log -- <filename> git checkout <hash>~1 <file name> git commit -m 'undeleted file' https://4ddig.tenorshare.com/windows-recovery-solutions/git-restore-deleted-file.html#f1

kkop answer is right. The question doesn't say anything about saving your current work (even though it is a good practice). git log -> gives you info on which commit you want to checkout. git checkout will discard your current work and checkout the specific commit. then you commit the change to undelete the file.

Given answer is correct! Although, I think it's being a bit overcomplicated with the restore. Since I haven't pushed the commit yet, it's only local. So why not: git log git reset --mixed [hash of previous commit] git checkout [filename] This will uncommit the latest commit, bring back the changes to the working tree and then just remove the file deletion, so you can then commit the changes with the same name, ultimately just removing the file deletion.

Correct
