The command "git restore ${filename}" is used to restore a file in the working directory to its original state (as it exists in the current commit) or to discard any uncommitted changes made to the file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "git restore" is the main command used to restore files in Git.
• "${filename}" is a placeholder that represents the specific file you want to restore. You would replace "${filename}" with the actual name of the file you wish to restore.

When you run the "git restore" command with a specific file name, Git will do one of the following:

• If the file has been modified but is still in the staging area (added to the index), running "git restore ${filename}" will remove the changes made to the file and revert it back to its state as it exists in the last commit.
• If the file has been modified but is not in the staging area, running "git restore ${filename}" will also discard the changes made to the file and revert it back to its state as it exists in the last commit.
• If the file has been deleted, running "git restore ${filename}" will restore the file to its previous state in the last commit.
• If the file is a new untracked file, running "git restore ${filename}" will remove the file from the working directory.

In summary, the "git restore ${filename}" command allows you to revert changes made to a file in the working directory and restore it to its previous state.
