Git - revert single file
5 points
In this short article, we would like to show how in Git revert single file to the last version using Bash (or any other command line).
Quick solution:
xxxxxxxxxx1
git checkout HEAD path/to/my-file
Let's suppose, we have modified few files and we want to revert only src/components/button.tsx.
Use one of the below commands:
-
xxxxxxxxxx1git checkout HEAD src/components/button.tsx -
xxxxxxxxxx1git checkout -- src/components/button.tsx
Where: HEAD and -- indicate last version.
Full example:
xxxxxxxxxx1
john@ubuntu-pc:/home/john/Projects/shop$ git status2
