Sometimes we may want to revert the changes in the working tree. Let’s delete some files in the Rails project.

1. Delete the app/controllers folder

• rm -r ./app/controllers

2. Let’s check what i have just done by git status

 

3. Revert the changes

• git checkout -f

4. Check the working tree again by git status

 

Done =)
