Removing/undoing all changes since the last commit
git stash
What this does: If you've added new files to be committed, the're "unadded" (but not deleted); if you've made changes to tracked files, the changes are removed so they look like what they were in the last commit. (Bonus point: changes removed with stash can be re-added if you change your mind with git stash pop.)
This only works on all changes (you can't stash a specific file).
Reverting your branch to the state of a remote branch
If on branch master, you want to get your repo to what the remote master looks like:
git reset --hard origin/master
Use case: say you're in the master branch, and have done a bunch of local commits/merges that you haven't pushed. Now you're stuck somehow, maybe you've got a merge conflict or something and you can't figure out the damn commands to get out of it all. You just want your repo to look like you just checked it out. Then you can run this command. It'll work in the middle of merge conflicts, with staged-but-not-committed files, etc.
If you reset to origin/master from some other branch, that branch will now be at the same commit as the remote master (and any other committed changes in that branch will be lost).
If you're on branch somefeature and want to revert to the remote somefeature, then this is the command:
git reset --hard origin/somefeature
Removing/undoing your changes to a certain file / path
git checkout -- <path>
If "path" is ".", you undo all your changes to version controlled files in that directory and sub-directories:
git checkout -- .
If you've first done git add (to "stage your changes", so some file is listed under Changes to be committed), you first need to do git reset to unstage the changes, then checkout in case you had changes to files already tracked. So to do that for the whole dir:
git reset HEAD . git checkout -- .
Merge conflict: Throw away local changes
git checkout master <path> git commit git merge master
(The last command should now do nothing, just say you're fully merged.)
