Answer 1

After you identified the commit, click on it to make it active. In the commit details (middle pane), choose Tree in the menu in the upper right corner. Locate the file you need in the tree and right-click it. Then choose Export to save it to your desktop.

Try the next command being abdcef the hash of the commit you want to recover

git checkout abdcef /path_to_file
