Git/restore/--staged

• How to unstage files in git without modifying or removing files #card

  • git restore --staged

    • It ONLY unstages files from the staging area (removes them from what would be committed)
    • It does NOT delete or modify any actual files
    • It does NOT lose any changes
    • The changes will still be there, just moved back to "Changes not staged for commit"
    • It's the newer, safer equivalent to  git/reset/HEAD which Git introduced to make the commands more intuitive.
    • My Notes git restore is for "restoring working tree files" - "restore specified paths in the working tree with some contents from a restore source" - "the command can also be used to restore the content in the index with --staged"
