I am in a bit of a pickle. I deleted a remote repo that had a folder that I belatedly realized I need. The deleted repo exists on a backup which I restored. How do I extract the needed folder from that restored repo. Not being a git expert I'm not sure what to do but I cannot find any recognizable sources. This is an 'ls' of the restored repo:

branches  config  description  HEAD  hooks  info  objects  ref
TIA.
