[git-users] Bring back locally deleted file, leave changes in others

2011-09-06 Thread tombert
Hi all

I perform some changes in several files, then I delete two files
because I want to discard those changes.

rm myfile1.txt
rm myfile2.txt

Is there a way of bringing back those files with knowing its name?

I could use git checkout . but this would discard changes in the
other files ... I'am looking for an equivaltent of cvs update.

Thx for your help

Actually, this is what Git tells you do do when you run `git status`
so pay close attention to this output.

Note that that `git checkout` encantation is what you should have used
in the first place instead of deleting the files.

It's way better to instead start with some book on Git to have
appropriate mindset before you devle into serious work with Git.
It's one of those cases where knowledge of CVS might do more harm than
good.
