How to un-delete a file using git?

Question

This morning, I logged into my production server and accidentally delete one of my file.

UrlController.php

Unfortunately, there is no undo in WinSCP. As soon as you hit on the red X, it gone for good.

Fortunately, I use git. When I do git status, this is what I see.

enter image description here

Is there anywhere to use git to bring that file back, or undo what I just delete ?

I'm new to git. Feel free to suggest a better option. Thanks.

Try this:

$ git checkout app/controllers/UrlController.php

@evoque2015 That should undo the deletion completly, so there is nothing further to be done. – Sascha Wolf Jan 05 '15 at 15:36
I always use `git checkout -- ` to distinguish it from any other `git checkout` commands. – Hauleth Jan 05 '15 at 15:43
@Agis : It's work. So `checkout` will always bring back the file ? just curious ... – iori Jan 05 '15 at 16:03
