After running `git reset <pathspec>` to update the index entry, you can
use linkgit:git-restore[1] to check the contents out of the index to
the working tree. Alternatively, using linkgit:git-restore[1]

can copy the contents of a path out of a commit to the index and to the
working tree in one go.
