NAME

|

|
git-checkout - Checkout and switch to a branch.
|
|

|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
'git-checkout' [-f] [-b <new_branch>] [<branch>] [<paths>...]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When <paths> are not given, this command switches branches, by
|
|
|
|
|
updating the index and working tree to reflect the specified
|
|
|
|
|
branch, <branch>, and updating HEAD to be <branch> or, if
|
|
|
|
|
specified, <new_branch>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When <paths> are given, this command does *not* switch
|
|
|
|
|
branches. It updates the named paths in the working tree from
|
|
|
|
|
the index file (i.e. it runs `git-checkout-index -f -u`). In
|
|
|
|
|
this case, `-f` and `-b` options are meaningless and giving
|
|
|
|
|
either of them results in an error. <branch> argument can be
|
|
|
|
|
used to specify a specific tree-ish to update the index for the
|
|
|
|
|
given paths before updating the working tree.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
-f::
|
|
|
|
|
Force an re-read of everything.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-b::
|
|
|
|
|
Create a new branch and start it at <branch>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<new_branch>::
|
|
|
|
|
Name for the new branch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<branch>::
|
|
|
|
|
Branch to checkout; may be any object ID that resolves to a
|
|
|
|
|
commit. Defaults to HEAD.

EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following sequence checks out the `master` branch, reverts
|
|
|
|
|
the `Makefile` to two revisions back, deletes hello.c by
|
|
|
|
|
mistake, and gets it back from the index.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
$ git checkout master
|
|
|
|
|
$ git checkout master~2 Makefile
|
|
|
|
|
$ rm -f hello.c
|
|
|
|
|
$ git checkout hello.c
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have an unfortunate branch that is named `hello.c`, the
|
|
|
|
|
last step above would be confused as an instruction to switch to
|
|
|
|
|
that branch. You should instead write:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
$ git checkout -- hello.c
|
|
|
