Is there a way under the GitPython library to revert local changes to a single file?
Under the Git command line I would just use git checkout filename but attempting to do this under the GitPython API, like so
repo.index.checkout([filename])
leads to the following error,
git.exc.CheckoutError: Some files could not be checked out from the index due to local modifications:[‘foo’]
Ah, figured it out a few minutes after posting by looking at the source.
If I turn on force by using
repo.index.checkout([filename]. force=True)it works fine.There may be a better way, but according to the source the force parameter is just there to overwrite local changes.
