NAME
----
git-restore - Restore working tree files

SYNOPSIS
--------
[synopsis]
git restore [<options>] [--source=<tree>] [--staged] [--worktree] [--] <pathspec>...
git restore [<options>] [--source=<tree>] [--staged] [--worktree] --pathspec-from-file=<file> [--pathspec-file-nul]
git restore (-p|--patch) [<options>] [--source=<tree>] [--staged] [--worktree] [--] [<pathspec>...]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Restore specified paths in the working tree with some contents from a
restore source. If a path is tracked but does not exist in the restore
source, it will be removed to match the source.

The command can also be used to restore the content in the index with
`--staged`, or restore both the working tree and the index with
`--staged --worktree`.

By default, if `--staged` is given, the contents are restored from `HEAD`,
otherwise from the index. Use `--source` to restore from a different commit.

See "Reset, restore and revert" in linkgit:git[1] for the differences
between the three commands.

THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE.

OPTIONS
-------
`-s <tree>`::
`--source=<tree>`::
	Restore the working tree files with the content from the given
	tree. It is common to specify the source tree by naming a
	commit, branch or tag associated with it.
+
If not specified, the contents are restored from `HEAD` if `--staged` is
given, otherwise from the index.
+
As a special case, you may use `"<rev-A>...<rev-B>"` as a shortcut for the
merge base of _<rev-A>_ and _<rev-B>_ if there is exactly one merge base. You can
leave out at most one of _<rev-A>__ and _<rev-B>_, in which case it defaults to `HEAD`.

`-p`::
`--patch`::
	Interactively select hunks in the difference between the
	restore source and the restore location. See the "Interactive
	Mode" section of linkgit:git-add[1] to learn how to operate
	the `--patch` mode.

`-W`::
`--worktree`::
`-S`::
`--staged`::
	Specify the restore location. If neither option is specified,
	by default the working tree is restored. Specifying `--staged`
	will only restore the index. Specifying both restores both.

`-q`::
`--quiet`::
	Quiet, suppress feedback messages. Implies `--no-progress`.

`--progress`::
`--no-progress`::
	Progress status is reported on the standard error stream
	by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless `--quiet`
	is specified. This flag enables progress reporting even if not
	attached to a terminal, regardless of `--quiet`.

`--ours`::
`--theirs`::
	When restoring files in the working tree from the 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`,

Title: Git Restore Command
Summary
The git-restore command is used to restore working tree files with contents from a specified restore source, and can also restore the content in the index or both the working tree and the index, with various options available to customize the restore process.
