@nschertz sorry, oops… wrong command!

git checkout package-lock.json

fixed the prior posts with note edited

nschertz

to clarify… execute “git checkout package.json” instead of " git reset package.json" or execute “git checkout package.json” and " git reset package.json"?

@nschertz git checkout

restores it from the local source repo

git reset
removes it from the staged to be submitted as a change

I posted the checkout first, then a user posted reset and I blindly followed it…
my mistake

nschertz

oops meant to type

to clarify… execute “git checkout package-lock.json” instead of " git reset package-lock.json" or execute “git checkout package-lock.json” and " git reset package-lock.json"?

Got it ! git checkout… worked! Thanks for the clarification on what git reset does verses git checkout.

@nschertz awesome… sorry for the misdirection

sdetweil

in the git model

the files you see are called the working directory
and the repo is hidden in the .git folder

that is where the actual ‘state’/contents of each file exists

so checkout copies the contents from the repo to the working directory

if you were developing and had a change
git status would show changed in the working directory

git diff will show WHAT changed

to lock it down in the local copy of the repo
you git add it to a potential ‘commit’,
then git status shows it as ‘staged’

to REMOVE it from staged, use the git reset command

git commit puts it into the local repo as a change

then you ‘push’ your entire local repo to the parent (git remote -v)

and the changes (if accepted) are merged and that change is in the master for
all new ‘pulls’
