Eclipse git checkout (aka, revert)

Question

Is it possible to do the equivalent of git checkout from within Eclipse using the EGit plugin?

I have a file that\'s been modified. I want to discards t

Answer 1

The functionality is actually in there, but it may be non-obvious:

• Make sure quickdiff is enabled with a git revision and the quickdiff baseline is HEAD (this is the default).
• Open the file you want to revert.
• Select everything (Ctrl-A)
• Right-Click in the quickdiff bar
• Select "Revert selection"
• Save

btw, revert in git lingo means create a new commit to revert an earlier commit.
