Can I restore my source files with only the .git folder?
I had a problem with my cloud file server and I don't have the source of my project anymore... Is it possible to restore the full project with only the .git folder ?
If it's possible, how can I do it ?

Open the Git bash and navigate to the folder containing the .git folder/file. If the prompt shows some branch, then it's looking good for you. You should then be able to just checkout a branch, e.g.
git checkout master
The .git folder should store all the state of that particular local repository.
