This will only reset the file content to the version in the index.
E.g.
echo modified >> a.txt
git add a.txt
git checkout -- a.txt (1)
git checkout HEAD -- a.txt (2)
(1) This will do nothing to your file 'a.txt' in your workdir because
the index and the workdir are identical
(2) This will reset your file to the state before you run that bogus
echo modified >> a.txt comand
Greetings,
Peter
