You've been working on your essay for a while. But - ughh! Now your cat walks over your keyboard and "helps you", so now it's all messed up again! :/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To restore your essay from the last backup, type:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-10-12 18:12:12 +02:00
|
|
|
git checkout essay.txt
|
2020-10-06 10:51:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To restore an older version, for example, from two backups before the latest one, type:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-10-12 18:12:12 +02:00
|
|
|
git checkout HEAD~2 essay.txt
|
2020-10-06 10:51:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For nostalgic reasons, restore the very first backup you made!
