If you didn t commit it to the master branch yet  its easy    get off the master branch  like git checkout -b oops fluke dang  commit your changes there  like git add -u  git commit   go back the master branch  like git checkout master    Your changes will be saved in branch oops fluke dang  master will be as it was

Assuming you did not commit the file  or add it to the index  then   git checkout -- filename   Assuming you added it to the index  but did not commit it  then   git reset HEAD filename git checkout -- filename   Assuming you did commit it  then   git checkout origin master filename   Assuming you want to blow away all commits from your branch  VERY DESTRUCTIVE    git reset --hard origin master
