Git repository cleanup

After adding .gitignore file, commands git ls-files -z --ignored --exclude-standard | xargs -0 git rm --cached and git commit -m "Repository cleanup adter adding .gitignore" can be used to delete all committed files from git.

Deleted file recovery

Command git log --all --pretty=format: --name-only --diff-filter=D -E $COMMIT -- *.user lists all deleted .user files in given commit.

Deleted files can be recovered from given commit into workspace with git log --all --pretty=format: --name-only --diff-filter=D -E -z $COMMIT -- *.user | xargs -0 git restore --source=$COMMIT^ -W -- where COMMIT is commit that deleted files.

Running the command recovers files into working directory. *.user is example here and can be replaces with given set of files.
