I accidentally deleted my .htaccess file. Before that I could just delete everything in the var and pub/static folder (except the .htaccess file of course) and just reload the page to see my CSS / LESS changes. Without the .htaccess file the stylings completely disappear. Now I always have to run the bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy command in order to see my changes which takes for ever. Is there any way I can re-setup the .htaccess file?

You can download corresponding file from the official Magento 2 repository. That will solve your problem.

  • Does .htaccess needs be present in the directory if using nginx ?

You can find the .htaccess file from below path :

https://github.com/magento/magento2/tree/2.4-develop/pub/static

Hope it may help you!

  1. You can find the .htaccess file at magento root/var
  2. There is one more .htaccess file you can find in root/ directory named as .htaccess.sample

Get the file into your root directory.

Remove the cache and try.
