index, use
stage #2 (`ours`) or #3 (`theirs`) for unmerged paths.
This option cannot be used when checking out paths from a
tree-ish (i.e. with the `--source` option).
+
Note that during `git rebase` and `git pull --rebase`, `ours` and
`theirs` may appear swapped. See the explanation of the same options
in linkgit:git-checkout[1] for details.
`-m`::
`--merge`::
When restoring files on the working tree from the index,
recreate the conflicted merge in the unmerged paths.
This option cannot be used when checking out paths from a
tree-ish (i.e. with the `--source` option).
`--conflict=<style>`::
The same as `--merge` option above, but changes the way the
conflicting hunks are presented, overriding the
`merge.conflictStyle` configuration variable. Possible values
are `merge` (default), `diff3`, and `zdiff3`.
`--ignore-unmerged`::
When restoring files on the working tree from the index, do
not abort the operation if there are unmerged entries and
neither `--ours`, `--theirs`, `--merge` or `--conflict` is
specified. Unmerged paths on the working tree are left alone.
`--ignore-skip-worktree-bits`::
In sparse checkout mode, the default is to only update entries
matched by _<pathspec>_ and sparse patterns in
`$GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout`. This option ignores the sparse
patterns and unconditionally restores any files in
_<pathspec>_.
`--recurse-submodules`::
`--no-recurse-submodules`::
If _<pathspec>_ names an active submodule and the restore location
includes the working tree, the submodule will only be updated if
this option is given, in which case its working tree will be
restored to the commit recorded in the superproject, and any local
modifications overwritten. If nothing (or
`--no-recurse-submodules`) is used, submodules working trees will
not be updated. Just like linkgit:git-checkout[1], this will detach
`HEAD` of the submodule.
`--overlay`::
`--no-overlay`::
In overlay mode, never remove files when restoring. In no-overlay mode,
remove tracked files that do not appear in the _<tree>_ of
`--source=<tree>`, to make them match _<tree>_ exactly. The default
is no-overlay mode.
`--pathspec-from-file=<file>`::
Pathspec is passed in _<file>_ instead of commandline args. If
_<file>_ is exactly `-`
