I have deleted files in my project, committed that and done other commits since then.
Now I need about 15 of those files. There are answers (like the question) on how to do this using git command line.
How can I do the same thing in IntelliJ IDEA?

There are no more efficient way than git command. Let's do it by command line interface. You should add more information or edit it for clear. – James Graham Dec 26 '19 at 02:25

I found a way for both situations, either knowing the deleting commit or not even knowing it.
Case 1: Let's start with the easier one, where I do know the commit:
- In "Version Control > Log" view select the commit (search box helps to find it)
- In box on right hand side (file tree) select all files to recover
- Right-click and "Revert selected changes"
Case 2: Now if I don't know the deleting commit I can either try to narrow the commit log down using the "Paths" filter option. Or I can run these shell commands to get the exact commit (and search that in git log):
- List all deleted files in repo:
git log --diff-filter=D --summary | grep delete - Find deleting commit for one of those files:
git rev-list -n 1 HEAD -- [deleted-filename] - Continue with steps of Case 1 above

Using IntelliJ's Local history module should help you link you solve your problem. As long as you haven't invalidated caches or installed a new version of the IDE, it should have a revision of before you deleted the files.
(It also has a retention period for revisions, so I hope you didn't delete the files too long ago)

Finding past deleted files is not proposed natively in IntelliJ IDEA, and the local history might not have always those files memorized.
That means you need to configure a git bash terminal in IDEA, that you can call on:
Using: c:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe
