762 <div class="paragraph"><p>Restore specified paths in the working tree with some contents from a
763 restore source. If a path is tracked but does not exist in the restore
764 source, it will be removed to match the source.</p></div>
765 <div class="paragraph"><p>The command can also be used to restore the content in the index with
766 <code>--staged</code>, or restore both the working tree and the index with
767 <code>--staged --worktree</code>.</p></div>
768 <div class="paragraph"><p>By default, if <code>--staged</code> is given, the contents are restored from <code>HEAD</code>,
769 otherwise from the index. Use <code>--source</code> to restore from a different commit.</p></div>
770 <div class="paragraph"><p>See "Reset, restore and revert" in <a href="git.html">git(1)</a> for the differences
771 between the three commands.</p></div>

787 Restore the working tree files with the content from the given
788 tree. It is common to specify the source tree by naming a
789 commit, branch or tag associated with it.
790 </p>
791 <div class="paragraph"><p>If not specified, the contents are restored from <code>HEAD</code> if <code>--staged</code> is
792 given, otherwise from the index.</p></div>
793 <div class="paragraph"><p>As a special case, you may use <code>"A...B"</code> as a shortcut for the
794 merge base of <code>A</code> and <code>B</code> if there is exactly one merge base. You can
795 leave out at most one of <code>A</code> and <code>B</code>, in which case it defaults to <code>HEAD</code>.</p></div>

808 the <code>--patch</code> mode.

900 When restoring files on the working tree from the index, do
901 not abort the operation if there are unmerged entries and
902 neither <code>--ours</code>, <code>--theirs</code>, <code>--merge</code> or <code>--conflict</code> is

911 In sparse checkout mode, by default is to only update entries
912 matched by <code>&lt;pathspec&gt;</code> and sparse patterns in
913 $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout. This option ignores the sparse
914 patterns and unconditionally restores any files in
915 <code>&lt;pathspec&gt;</code>.

926 If <code>&lt;pathspec&gt;</code> names an active submodule and the restore location
927 includes the working tree, the submodule will only be updated if
928 this option is given, in which case its working tree will be
929 restored to the commit recorded in the superproject, and any local
930 modifications overwritten. If nothing (or
931 <code>--no-recurse-submodules</code>) is used, submodules working trees will
932 not be updated. Just like <a href="git-checkout.html">git-checkout(1)</a>, this will detach
933 <code>HEAD</code> of the submodule.

944 In overlay mode, the command never removes files when
945 restoring. In no-overlay mode, tracked files that do not
946 appear in the <code>--source</code> tree are removed, to make them match
947 <code>&lt;tree&gt;</code> exactly. The default is no-overlay mode.

955 Pathspec is passed in <code>&lt;file&gt;</code> instead of commandline args. If
956 <code>&lt;file&gt;</code> is exactly <code>-</code> then standard input is used. Pathspec
957 elements are separated by LF or CR/LF. Pathspec elements can be
958 quoted as explained for the configuration variable <code>core.quotePath</code>
959 (see <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>). See also <code>--pathspec-file-nul</code> and
