I'm using the TortoiseGit client on Win XP. In a particular folder, I have 3 modified files, whose modifications I wish to trash. In other words, I want to check out the latest versions of these three files from the remote repository. Note that there is another modified file in the same directory that I wish to leave as is. How do I get the latest version of only these 3 files?
Thanks - Dave

Short Answergit checkout origin/master -- path/to/file // git checkout <local repo name (default is origin)>/<branch name> -- path/to/file will checkout the particular file from the downloaded changes (origin/master).
git checkout origin/master -- path/to/file // git checkout / -- path/to/file will checkout the particular file from the downloaded changes (origin/master). That's it!
A checkout with pathnames does not affect HEAD:
git checkout origin/master -- file1 path/file2 path/file3
Assuming default upstream remote/branch names (e.g. after a git clone)
Note that the three named files will be overwritten without warning. Any uncommitted local changes to these named files will be lost.
