I suspect that you need to understand exactly how rebase works.
When executing git rebase master, git will do this:
This is an example rebase behavior.
In your case, I suspect there are conflicts, so git does not reach those commits where the files you need appeared. If the conflict is resolved and done , the process will continue. By itself, rebase does not imply deleting any files, only applying commits. And so rightly noticed that you should not do a rebase of an already published branch. git rebase --continue
