You can do either:

1. Revert the file you changed to its initial state:

   git checkout path/to/file
   

2. Remove the vendor/ directory and run bin/vendors install again. That way you are sure everything is new.

A rule of thumb of thumb is that should NEVER modify files in the vendor/ directory.
