A while back in a known branch i committed a file, which was subsequently removed. Many iterations later, i’d like to recover this file.
How can this be done please?

If you remember the file name, you can just run
git log -- <filename>to show all commits that involved that file. If you don’t remember the file name, but remember something about the contents, you can usegit log -S <string>orgit log -G <regex>to search for it.
