How to restore a file to last version

Assuming you did not git add the file to the index, or git commit the file, then:

git checkout filename

Assuming you already executed a git add of the file to the index, but did not git commit it, then:

git reset HEAD filename
git checkout filename

Assuming you did have already executed a git commit of the file, then:

git checkout origin/master filename

Assuming you want to blow away all commits from your branch (VERY DESTRUCTIVE):

git reset --hard origin/master

Init Empty & Sign

git init
git commit -S -m “root” --allow-empty
git remote add origin <repo>
git push origin master
