How to Restore a Single File in a Git Repository

Git Tip:
git checkout allows you to restore a single file to a previous version without affecting the rest of your project. For example: git checkout--.

Full example below:

# View the commit history of a specific file.
git log -- path/to/file                                  

# Restore a specific file to its state from a previous commit.
git checkout  -- path/to/file               

# Restore a specific file from a different branch.
git checkout  -- path/to/file               

# Restore a specific file to its state from 1 day ago.
git checkout HEAD@{1.day.ago} -- path/to/file
