The normal workflow of working with git and github are:
git add: Select specific files or changes to include in the commit.git commit: Create a snapshot of the selected changes with a descriptive commit message.git push: Push the committed changes to a remote repository for sharing and collaboration.
Example:
git add file1.txt: Select file1.txt to be included in the commit.git commit -m "Updated file1.txt": Create a snapshot of the changes made to file1.txt with a descriptive commit message.git push origin main: Push the committed changes to the remote repository named origin in the main branch.
However, how about if something doesn’t work out smoothly, and we need to back up a little bit.
For example
discard the changes to some file in the current directory
The anwer is:
use git restore <file-with-full-path> to discard changes in working directory
for example:git restore dir1/file1.txt
I staged the file by using git add, but now I want to unstage
the answer is:
use git restore --staged <file-with-full-path> to unstage
for example:
git restore --staged dir1/file1.txt
