otherwise from the index. Use <code>--source</code> to restore from a different commit.</p></div>

<p>
        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.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If not specified, the contents are restored from <code>HEAD</code> if <code>--staged</code> is
given, otherwise from the index.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>As a special case, you may use <code>"A...B"</code> as a shortcut for the
merge base of <code>A</code> and <code>B</code> if there is exactly one merge base. You can
leave out at most one of <code>A</code> and <code>B</code>, in which case it defaults to <code>HEAD</code>.</p></div>

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

        Progress status is reported on the standard error stream
        by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless <code>--quiet</code>
        is specified. This flag enables progress reporting even if not
        attached to a terminal, regardless of <code>--quiet</code>.

        When restoring files in the working tree from the index, use
        stage #2 (<em>ours</em>) or #3 (<em>theirs</em>) for unmerged paths.
        This option cannot be used when checking out paths from a
        tree-ish (i.e. with the <code>--source</code> option).
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Note that during <code>git rebase</code> and <code>git pull --rebase</code>, <em>ours</em> and
<em>theirs</em> may appear swapped. See the explanation of the same options
in <a href="git-checkout.html">git-checkout(1)</a> for details.</p></div>

        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 <code>--source</code> option).

<dt class="hdlist1">

<dd>
<p>
        The same as <code>--merge</code> option above, but changes the way the
        conflicting hunks are presented, overriding the
        <code>merge.conflictStyle</code> configuration variable.  Possible values
        are "merge" (default), "diff3", and "zdiff3".
</p>

<p>
        When restoring files on the working tree from the index, do
        not abort the operation if there are unmerged entries and
        neither <code>--ours</code>, <code>--theirs</code>, <code>--merge</code> or <code>--conflict</code> is
        specified. Unmerged paths on the working tree are left alone.

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

</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        If <code>&lt;pathspec&gt;</code> 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
        <code>--no-recurse-submodules</code>) is used, submodules working trees will
        not be updated. Just like <a href="git-checkout.html">git-checkout(1)</a>, this will detach
        <code>HEAD</code> of the submodule.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">

<p>
        In overlay mode, the command never removes files when
        restoring. In no-overlay mode, tracked files that do not
        appear in the <code>--source</code> tree are removed, to make them match
        <code>&lt;tree&gt;</code> exactly. The default is no-overlay mode.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">

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

<dt class="hdlist1">

<p>
        Only meaningful with <code>--pathspec-from-file</code>. Pathspec elements are
        separated with NUL character and all other characters are taken
        literally (including newlines and quotes).
