Git Pull not working in case of folder that was deleted?

I have pulled a branch from Bitbucket to my local. It contains multiple folders and I deleted one of the folder and commited my changes. Now, if I do a git pull, then shouldn't the deleted folder appear in my local machine again? Its not happening. Any ideas why this might be the case?

It won't happen because your HEAD will be pointing to your local commit. If you want those files, then revert(reset) your local commit and then do a git pull:

  1. git log
  2. Get the hash of latest commit, which has the change for deleted files, say <Hash id 1>
  3. git reset <Hash id 1>
  4. git pull

It will not. The remote (on bitbucket) is at commit n and your own repository is at n+1 (your new commit deleting the file). If you pull, git will tell you that your branch is ahead and that there's nothing new to pull.
