Git: Checkout all files except one
git, git-checkout
Solution
git add dir/C/file.txt # this file will stay modified and staged
git checkout .
If you want to unstage the file after that:
git reset
Problem
When I do a git status, I see files like this: ``` modified: dir/A/file.txt modified: dir/B/file.txt modified: dir/C/file.txt modified: dir/D/file.txt ``` What I want to do is to discard changes to all files EXCEPT for dir/C/file.txt I want to do something like this: ``` git checkout -- dir/!C/file.txt ```
