git-restore:tldr:0d415
git-restore: Discard all changes to files, both staged and unstaged.
$ git restore --worktree --staged :/
try on your machine
The git restore --worktree --staged :/
command is used to unstage any changes that have been made to the working directory and the staging area (also known as index).
Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:
git restore
is the command used in Git to revert changes made to either the working directory or the staging area.--worktree
is an option that specifies that the "restore" action should be applied to the working tree (the actual files and directories on disk).--staged
is an option used to specify that the "restore" action should also be applied to the staging area (index).:/
is the path specifier that represents the entire working directory. In this case, it means that the restore action should apply to all files and directories in the repository.
So, when you run git restore --worktree --staged :/
, it will unstage any changes that have been made to the working directory and the staging area, effectively resetting them to the last committed state. However, it won't undo any changes made to the committed history itself.
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and
never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
