The oxen restore command can be useful for reverting changes in your working directory to the HEAD commit, or some specific point in the history.

For example if you modified or deleted a file that you did not intend to, simply run

$ oxen restore path/to/file.txt

It also works recursively to restore all changes within a directory

$ oxen restore path/to/dir

​
Restore to version

If you want to restore to a specific version in your commit history, you can supply the commit id or branch name with the --source flag.

$ oxen restore path/to/file.txt --source COMMIT_ID

​
Unstage a file

If you accidentally staged a file or directory with the oxen add command, and want to unstage it, you can also use the restore command for this.

$ oxen restore --staged path/to/dir
