git checkout modified file without copy-pasting full file path
git, git-checkout
Solution
Use tab-completion, which virtually every shell provides. There are lots of articles which will help you set this up, including this one for Bash.
As for pure Git solutions:
If that is the only modification, use `git checkout .` to discard all changes.
If you want to keep some changes and discard others, use `git checkout -p` to interactively discard changes in the working directory.
When Git prompts you with changes from each file you want to discard, use `a`:
a - discard this hunk and all later hunks in the file
When Git prompts you with the changes from each file you want to keep, use `d`:
d - do not discard this hunk or any of the later hunks in the file
Problem
`git status` shows something like ``` git status # On branch icc-server-send-metric-values # Changes not staged for commit: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: java/com/me/cards/preview/preview-card.js ``` I want to checkout the file, but without retyping it or copy pasting it. The closest command is `add -i` but this only really cares about the index, not checking out. What's a good workflow here?
