Recovering Accidental Storyboard Deletion

Question

I tried looking for the answer but didn\'t find it.

I accidentally deleted my storyboard in XCode4. Is there anyway that I can retrieve it? I looked in the trash ca

Answer 1

I just did the same. It was pretty easy to recover if you were using git (and there was not much change from the last commit).

All you have to do is to restore your project.pbxproj file. Try git diff your .xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

Once you confirm that restoring that file will save your storyboard (since you will find deleted lines around MainStoryboard), run this simple command:

git checkout project.pbxproj

If you made some change to the project (like adding files) since the last commit, you will find some added lines as well. Save them by running git diff before above command.
