Something similar to svn up.

is the command that will fully reset your working directory to what was in the most recent commit of the current branch. Be careful. All the work in your commit before you do the
resetwill be clobbered, and you’ll lose it.If you only need to reset a single file without modifying anything else,
git checkout -- fileA.txtwill revert only that file (regardless of whether it has been just edited or fully deleted).
