Revert local changes in fossil


How do I clean/revert/undo local, un-commited changes in a single source file with Fossil?

The clean command looks to me like it should do the trick, but no, the local changes are still there. I am looking for the same effect as "git checkout filename.c" would have.


Solution

  • fossil revert <filename>
    

    .

    >fossil help revert
    Usage: fossil revert ?-r REVISION? ?FILE ...?
    
    Revert to the current repository version of FILE, or to
    the version associated with baseline REVISION if the -r flag
    appears.
    
    If FILE was part of a rename operation, both the original file
    and the renamed file are reverted.
    
    Revert all files if no file name is provided.
    
    If a file is reverted accidently, it can be restored using
    the "fossil undo" command.
    
    Options:
      -r REVISION    revert given FILE(s) back to given REVISION
