# Restore one or more workspace files to their content at a commit (default: the session base commit).

`POST /v1/repo-sessions/{session_id}/restore`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.kody.codes`
- URL: `https://api.kody.codes/v1/repo-sessions/{session_id}/restore`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Restore one or more workspace files to their content at a commit (default: the session base commit). This is the file-level repo session API: use `repoRebaseSession` to merge from the published default branch. There is no git-command channel; branch, checkout, and remote operations are not available in sessions (use the git lane via `packageGetGitRemote` for full git). Restoration is all-or-nothing across the requested paths.

Org permission: `package:write`.

## Path parameters

- `session_id` string, required: Active repo session id from repoOpenSession or repoListSessions.

## Request body

- object
  - `paths` string[], required: Repo-relative workspace paths to restore.
  - `commit` string: Commit to restore from. Defaults to the session base commit (HEAD at open).

## Response `200`

Success.

- object
  - `commit` string, required
