git-restore: Unstage all files.
$ git restore --staged :/
try on your machine

The command "git restore --staged :/" has the following components:

  • "git restore" is a Git command used to restore specific files or directories in your working directory or staging area.
  • "--staged" is an option used with the "git restore" command to specify that you want to restore files from the staging area.
  • ":/" is a pathspec that represents the entire working directory.

In summary, the command "git restore --staged :/" is used to unstage all files in the staging area of the Git repository. It restores the files to the same state as in the previous commit, effectively removing them from the staging area but keeping the changes in your working directory intact.
