How to revert to origin's master branch's version of file

Question

I\'m in my local computer\'s master branch of a cloned master-branch of a repo from a remote server.

I updated a file, and I want to revert back to the original version

Answer 1

If you didn't commit it to the master branch yet, its easy:

• get off the master branch (like git checkout -b oops/fluke/dang)
• commit your changes there (like git add -u; git commit;)
• go back the master branch (like git checkout master)

Your changes will be saved in branch oops/fluke/dang; master will be as it was.
