ios - Git Ignored File When GitIgnore Doesn't Exist -

i have ios project on xcode. i've been working off of branch time. i've made particular changes file , have been committing branch time. when moved old branch, merged code, , deleted recent branch, realized file never updated git. don't have .gitignore file.

all other files pushed except particular set of header , main objective-c files. have no idea why code never pushed up. i've spent quite bit of time working on , losing updated file great blow me. when moved older commit deleted branch file took original form.

what have caused , there wy me fix this?

update

this not first rodeo git. let me further explain.

every commit i've made i've used git add . , followed git commit , git push respectfully.

i've attempted pull branch remote repository file not reflect of changes i've made of recent commit.

you second question - how code had on file deleted.

here's how -

create new branch -

git checkout -b newbranch 

perform reflog , commits -

git reflog | grep commit 

now, should list of commits -

d2456b7 head@{1}: commit   (merge): merge 354dce1 head@{3}: commit: 4 8c01ff7 head@{6}: commit: 3 1ab4588 head@{7}: commit: 2 3c419d5 head@{8}: commit (initial): 1 

find commits want, 3 , 2 above , :

git cherry-pick 1ab4588 git cherry-pick 8c01ff7 

do commits , should have branch back.

alternatively, if pushed branch, pull back.

git pull origin branchname
