Accidentally deleted .htaccess file inside pub/static folder

Question

I accidentally deleted my .htaccess file. Before that I could just delete everything in the var and pub/static folder (except the .htaccess file of course) and just reload the page to see my CSS / LESS changes. Without the .htaccess file the stylings completely disappear. Now I always have to run the bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy command in order to see my changes which takes for ever. Is there any way I can re-setup the .htaccess file?

You can download corresponding file from the official Magento 2 repository. — Siarhey Uchukhlebau, Sep 17 '16 at 14:05

You can find the .htaccess file at magento root/var
There is one more .htaccess file you can find in root/ directory named as .htaccess.sample

Get the file into your root directory.

Remove the cache and try.
