No, it works also with dirty files, i.e. files that have been modified, but not committed. The only exception is if you called "git add <filename>". The reason is the so-called index. I prefer to call it the "staging area". You can stage changes for commit, and the way to do it is "git add". It is a very powerful concept, as it allows you to add some change already, while working on the rest of the commit, and "git diff" will show only the latter changes. So the foolproof way to restore a file to the last committed version is "git checkout HEAD -- <filename>". > Well, this could also be done with git rebase --hard... You mean "git reset --hard"? That resets _all_ files. _And_ the staging area.
