git restore
Context
Fixes #1487 as we now have a section explaining what
git restore
is.Read #1487 for the discussion we had leading up to this pull request.
This issue is also related: #1441 but I'm not closing it with this pull, because that issue also talks about the
git switch
command, which this pull request does not add.This is a rough draft, that basically copies the two undo sections that used
git reset
and replaced the examples withgit restore
.I'm of course open to your feedback to improve the text. You always have great suggestions! 😄 👍
Some questions/thoughts:
Should we perhaps change the example a bit more, so that we have less of a deja-vu experience? Or would that confuse readers even more?
I feel what I have now is quite heavy, and duplicates a lot of stuff.
And maybe rewrite this sentence, I really don't like this, it's a bit too complicated to understand at first read:
It's a lot of words to basically say:
git status
is your friend and gives you helpful advice on how to undo stuff. 😸
