To discard all local changes to a file and reset it to the latest committed version in Git, you can use the git checkout command or the git restore command. Here’s how to do it using both methods:
Using git checkout
1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
2. Navigate to your Git repository.
3. Run the following command, replacing path/to/your/file with the actual path to the file you want to reset:
git checkout -- path/to/your/file
Using git restore
Since Git 2.23, you can also use the git restore command:
1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
2. Navigate to your Git repository.
3. Run the following command, replacing path/to/your/file with the actual path to the file you want to reset:
git restore path/to/your/file
Notes:
- Both commands will overwrite the local changes in the specified file and restore its contents to the state of the last commit.
- Make sure that you do want to discard these changes, as this action cannot be undone.
Choose either method based on your preference or the version of Git you are using.
