In this article you will learn that how to revert all local changes in Git managed project to previous state?

To revert all local changes in a Git-managed project to its previous state, you can use the git checkout command. This command discards all changes in your working directory and replaces them with the latest version of the files from the repository.

Here's how to use git checkout to revert all local changes:

• Open a terminal or command prompt in the root directory of your Git-managed project.
• Run the following command:

git checkout .

This command tells Git to discard all changes in the current directory (represented by the dot) and replace them with the latest version of the files from the repository.

Note: The git checkout command is a powerful tool, and it can permanently destroy local changes if you're not careful. Before running this command, make sure you have saved any important changes, or that you're willing to lose them.

After running git checkout, your working directory should be in the same state as it was when you last checked out or updated the repository. If you need to reapply any changes, you can use git stash to temporarily save them, switch to a different branch, or perform another task, and then reapply the changes using git stash apply when you're ready.

What is git restore to restore all changes to last commit requires git version >= 2.23:

The git restore command is a Git command that allows you to restore specific files or entire directories to a previous version. It is used to undo changes that have been made to your working directory, either by you or by another person.

The git restore command can be used in two different ways:

git restore --staged <file>: This command restores the version of a file that is in the staging area to the version that is in the latest commit. This is useful if you have staged changes to a file that you want to undo before committing them.

git restore <file>: This command restores the version of a file in your working directory to the version that is in the latest commit. This is useful if you have made changes to a file that you want to undo.

Here's an example of how to use git restore:

• Open a terminal or command prompt in the root directory of your Git-managed project.
• Run the following command:

git restore <file>

This command tells Git to restore the version of <file> to the version that is in the latest commit. The changes that you made to <file> in your working directory will be discarded, and the file will be replaced with the version from the latest commit.

Note: The git restore command is a powerful tool, and it can permanently destroy local changes if you're not careful. Before running this command, make sure you have saved any important changes, or that you're willing to lose them.
