'Git back merge shows files deleted in sandbox

I am working on a feature that has many new files(eg A.class,B.class,C.class) added in sandbox X.

I have merged my sandbox branch X to master and due to some issue, I reverted the merge to master.

Now the files(eg A.class,B.class,C.class) will be deleted in master and the same files will be present in sandbox.

now i am trying to back merge master to sandbox, the files show as delete.

I have around 200 newly added files and lot of changes in existing files too. I know this is how it should work. But i need those files in sandbox and my back merge should not delete the files in sandbox.

My work around is to update newly added files in sandbox X with some changes like space and then will back merge from master so that it shows conflict and will accept sandbox X files while resolving conflict.

Is there any easy way to do it?

git gerrit

Ideally, you would not merge master back to X.

If you are the only one working on X, you would rebase X on top of master: your files would be preserved, would not show as deleted then.

git switch X
git rebase master
git push --force # OK if you were the only one working on X
