Restore command when used on a working area file (which is not staged yet) then it will restore the file as we have on the repository level or staged area (if the staged area and repository have a different version of the file). I meant I changed the file and then staged it and then again changed the file and use the restore in the working area file then it will restore the file to the previously staged changes or the repository version of the file.

I have several files from different directories which got changed while working on web application, so now I want to undo those changes. Therefore what is the command to restore a directory (which is not staged yet)?

Hi Sir,
To revert changes from staging area to working area.
You are using git restore --staged (filename).
Instead, we can use "git reset" command. Am i right?

Orelse, we can do more from git reset command?

I got a question here
We modified the file, then we restored the file, command : git restore context .text
Which will clear the modified lines . now my requirement is how to go back or command to go back again to the modified section, where we get lost line back which caused after restore ?
