diff --git a/Recover_deleted_remote_branch.txt b/Recover_deleted_remote_branch.txt
 I accidentally deleted a git branch from both local and remote and also refreshed the page so the "recover" option was gone.
 I didn't lose any code, since I had a backup copy.
 But I did lose the commit history.
 I was left with all code changes from all 16 commits in a folder.

 This is what I did to recover the deleted local and dev branch:
 1. git checkout master
 2. git reflog
 3. obtain the SHA of the top/latest commit on the deleted branch
 4. get out of the reflog mode
 5. there are 2 ways here:
    a. if you want to also rebase the deleted_branch_name to master do this:
        git branch <deleted_branch_name> <top_commit_SHA>
    b. if you don't want to push the commits from master to deleted_branch_name  do this:
        git checkout -b <deleted_branch_name> <top_commit_SHA>
 6. git push origin <deleted_branch_name>

 And voila! My heart was no longer in my mouth!
