Can I recover a branch after its deletion in Git?

Question

If I run git branch -d XYZ, is there a way to recover the branch? Is there a way to go back as if I didn\'t run the delete branch command?

Answer 1

If you removed the branch and forgot it's commit id you can do this command:

git log --graph --decorate $(git rev-list -g --all)

After this you'll be able to see all commits. Then you can do git checkout to this id and under this commit create a new branch.
