Git discard changes-How do I discard unstaged changes in Git?

Question

How do I discard changes in my working copy that are not in the index?

Answer 1

You can discard unstaged changes in git using the following commands

For added or modified file that is not staged we use the following

For all unstaged files in the working directory

$git checkout -- .(. For all files)

$ git checkout -- <path to that file>(for a specific file to be discarded)

or you can use

 $git stash 

Then if you need to discard the untracked you can use 

$git clean -i

here -i mean interactive mode then it will open like this 

There are options for you and you can select your option, clean will be used to discard the untracked file in git.
