Question

In the egit git eclipse plugin, I know I can "reset" a single file by right clicking on it and selecting Replace With > HEAD Revision. What is the difference between replacing with HEAD revision vs File in git index?

Was it helpful?

Solution

HEAD is the version of the file that has already been committed.

The index is the version of the file that has been staged (added) in preparation for a commit, but not yet committed.
