Scenario: I have local uncommitted changes to a source file which I want to undo, and get the source file back in its pristine state. In command-line git I would do "git checkout ", but how do I do this in Egit?
Try Git checkout --<file> to discard uncommitted changes to a file. Git reset --hard is for when you want to discard all uncommitted changes. Use Git reset --hard <commit id> to point the repo to a previous commit.
If you have committed changes to a file (i.e. you have run both git add and git commit ), and want to undo those changes, then you can use git reset HEAD~ to undo your commit.

Right click on the file -> Replace With -> Index
(old versions might say File in Git Index
rather than Index
)
or if you want to undo all files that have changed, right click on the project -> Team -> Reset.. -> select the 'hard' radio button -> press the Reset button
