Git equivalent for GitHub Desktop's "Discard all changes" (not git stash though)

Question

GitHub Desktop has a nice feature named "Discard All Changes"

How do I do the same thing using Git CLI, but NOT use git stash?

Answer 1

Using:

• the more recent git restore command
• the magic pathspec :/

That would be, from anywhere inside your repository:

git restore -SW :\

That would restore your working tree and index to HEAD content
