How do I find files & folders that seem to be missing after an Xcode project name change by mistake?

[rahulon]

I changed the name of my Xcode project from A to B by mistake. My Xcode project is synced with Bitbucket cloud. I then found that 2 of my folders under the folder Views - called CameraViewController and ItemDetailViewController are now missing. Even when I go to Commit history and look at previous Commits, I am unable to find the two folders. Could you please help?

Are you using a version control software for your code locally and if so, which one?

In case it is git, please consult the git manuals' section about what can still be recovered despite the user running git does not have backups.

Please see the chapter 10.7 Git Internals - Maintenance and Data Recovery in the official manual and in specific the sub-section Data Recovery.

A common good read is reflog, your safety net - git ready - learn git one commit at a time (by Nick Quaranto) it might be a bit dated, but every command can be cross-checked against the git man pages.

Atlassian has also published a tutorial about the "git reflog".
