I supposed to delete another file with git rm abc.c. But I deleted a wrong one. How can I recover it?

Right now, when I issue git status, it says

deleted:   abc.c

BTW, I have other uncommitted changes now.

git-rm git

If you accidentally did 

git rm -rf .

and removed all, you can recover it doing this.

git status
git reset HEAD .
git checkout -- .

first do git status to see what files you have deleted. second reset the HEAD to unstage all the files with git reset HEAD . lastly, you can restore all the files by doing git checkout -- .

If you accidentally delete the file using git delete command 'rm' and want to recover, then use the command :

git reset HEAD^<filename>

to recover the file
