What is the difference between git restore and git checkout?
Both commands are used to manipulate files in Git, but they serve different purposes. 'git checkout' is used to switch branches or restore working tree files, while 'git restore' is specifically designed to restore files in the working directory.
Can you give me an example of when to use each command?
Sure! Use 'git checkout' when you want to switch to a different branch, like 'git checkout feature-branch'. Use 'git restore' when you want to discard changes in a file, like 'git restore filename.txt'.
Is 'git restore' a new command? I don't remember it from earlier versions.
Yes, 'git restore' was introduced in Git 2.23 as part of an effort to make the command line more intuitive. It helps clarify the purpose of restoring files.
Are there any risks associated with using these commands?
Yes, using 'git restore' can permanently discard changes if you're not careful. Always ensure you want to lose those changes before executing the command.
