If a path is tracked but does not exist in the restore +source, it will be removed to match the source. + +The command can also be used to restore the content in the index with +`--staged`, or restore both the working tree and the index with +`--staged --worktree`. + +By default, the restore sources for working tree and the index are the +index and `HEAD` respectively. `--source` could be used to specify a +commit as the restore source. + +See "Reset, restore and revert" in linkgit:git[1] for the differences +between the three commands. + +OPTIONS +------- +-s <tree>:: +--source=<tree>:: + Restore the working tree files with the content from the given + tree. It is common to specify the source tree by naming a + commit, branch or tag associated with it. ++ +If not specified, the default restore source for the working tree is +the index, and the default restore source for the index index is +`HEAD`. When both `--staged` and `--worktree` are specified, +`--source` must also be specified. + +-p:: +--patch:: + Interactively select hunks in the difference between the + restore source and the restore location. See the ``Interactive + Mode'' section of linkgit:git-add[1] to learn how to operate + the `--patch` mode. ++ +Note that `--patch` can accept no pathspec and will prompt to restore +all modified paths. + +-W:: +--worktree:: +-S:: +--staged:: + Specify the restore location. If neither option is specified, + by default the working tree is restored. Specifying `--staged` + will only restore the index. Specifying both restores both. + +-q:: +--quiet:: + Quiet, suppress feedback messages. Implies `--no-progress`. + +--progress:: +--no-progress:: + Progress status is reported on the standard error stream + by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless `--quiet` + is specified. This flag enables progress reporting even if not + attached to a terminal, regardless of `--quiet`. + +--ours:: +--theirs:: + When restoring files in the working tree from the index, use + stage #2 ('ours') or #3 ('theirs') for unmerged paths. ++ +Note that during `git rebase` and `git pull --rebase`, 'ours' and +'theirs' may appear swapped. See the explanation of the same options +in linkgit:git-checkout[1] for details. + +-m:: +--merge:: + When restoring files on the working tree from the index, + recreate the conflicted merge in the unmerged paths. + +--conflict=<style>:: + The same as `--merge` option above, but changes the way the + conflicting hunks are presented, overriding the + `merge.conflictStyle` configuration variable. Possible values + are "merge" (default) and "diff3" (in addition to what is + shown by "merge" style, shows the original contents). + +--ignore-unmerged:: + When restoring files on the working tree from the index, do + not abort the operation if there are unmerged entries and + neither `--ours`, `--theirs`, `--merge` or `--conflict` is + specified. Unmerged paths on the working tree are left alone. + +--ignore-skip-worktree-bits:: + In sparse checkout mode, by default is to only update entries + matched by `<pathspec>` and sparse patterns in + $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout. This option ignores the sparse + patterns and unconditionally restores any files in + `<pathspec>`. + +--overlay:: +--no-overlay:: + In overlay mode, the command never removes files when + restoring. In no-overlay mode, tracked files that do not + appear in the `--source` tree are removed, to make them match + `<tree>` exactly. The default is no-overlay mode. + +EXAMPLES +-------- + +The following sequence switches to the `master` branch, reverts the +`Makefile` to two revisions back, deletes hello.c by mistake, and gets +it back from the index. + +------------ +$ git switch master +$ git restore --source master~2 Makefile <1> +$ rm -f hello.c +$ git restore hello.c <2> +------------ + +<1> take a file out of another commit +<2> restore hello.c from the index + +If you want to restore _all_ C source files to match the version in +the index, you can say + +------------ +$ git restore '*.c' +------------ + +Note the quotes around `*.c`. The file `hello.c` will also be +restored, even though it is no longer in the working tree, because the +file globbing is used to match entries in the index (not in the +working tree by the shell). + +To restore all files in the current directory + +------------ +$ git restore . +------------ + +or to restore all working tree files with 'top' pathspec magic (see +linkgit:gitglossary[7]) + +------------ +$ git restore :/ +------------ + +To restore a file in the index to match the version in `HEAD` (this is +the same as using linkgit:git-reset[1]) + +------------ +$ git restore --staged hello.c +------------ + +or you can restore both the index and the working tree (this the same +as using linkgit:git-checkout[1]) + +------------ +$ git restore --source=HEAD --staged --worktree hello.c +------------ + +or the short form which is more practical but less readable: + +------------ +$ git restore -s@ -SW hello.c +------------ + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkgit:git-checkout[1], +linkgit:git-reset[1] + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
