If you want to revert the file to its state in master   git checkout origin master  filename

User · Answer

you are almost there  you just need to give the reference to master  since you want to get the file from the master branch   git checkout master -- filename   Note that the differences will be cached  so if you want to see the differences you obtained  use  git diff --cached
