How to discard changes in Git

If you just want to clean unstaged changes on Git in your current working directory execute the following ‘Git discard all changes’ command ’:

git checkout — .

If however you are referring to a specific existing file, simply add the file path as follows :

git checkout — thepathtothefile/to/discard

For newer Git releases however you would want to use the restore command :

git restore . [Git discard changes command]

And for a specific file :

git restore thepathtothefile/to/discard [Git revert changes for a file]
