How to recover a deleted branch

Raw

Pre-requisite: You have to know your last commit message from your deleted branch.

git reflog

Search for message in the list: a901eda HEAD@{18}: commit: <last commit message>

Now you have two options, either checkout revision or HEAD

git checkout a901eda
  
# or
  
git checkout HEAD@{18}

Create branch

git branch recovered-branch

You may want to push that back to remote

git push origin recovered-branch:recovered-branch
