| <p><code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> has two main modes:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="olist arabic"> |
| <ol class="arabic"> |
| <li> |
| <p><strong>Switch branches</strong>, with <code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> <em><branch></em></p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><strong>Restore a different version of a file</strong>, for example with |
| <code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> <em><commit></em> <em><filename></em> or <code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> <em><filename></em></p> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>See ARGUMENT DISAMBIGUATION below for how Git decides which one to do.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="dlist"> |
| <dl> |
| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> [<em><branch></em>]</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Switch to <em><branch></em>. This sets the current branch to <em><branch></em> and |
| updates the files in your working directory. The checkout will fail |
| if there are uncommitted changes to any files where <em><branch></em> and |
| your current commit have different content. Uncommitted changes will |
| otherwise be kept.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>If <em><branch></em> is not found but there does exist a tracking branch in |
| exactly one remote (call it <em><remote></em>) with a matching name and |
| <code>--no-guess</code> is not specified, treat as equivalent to</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre>$ git checkout -b <branch> --track <remote>/<branch></pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Running <code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> without specifying a branch has no effect except |
| to print out the tracking information for the current branch.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> <code>-b</code> <em><new-branch></em> [<em><start-point></em>]</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Create a new branch named <em><new-branch></em>, start it at <em><start-point></em> |
| (defaults to the current commit), and check out the new branch. |
| You can use the <code>--track</code> or <code>--no-track</code> options to set the branch’s |
| upstream tracking information.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This will fail if there’s an error checking out <em><new-branch></em>, for |
| example if checking out the <em><start-point></em> commit would overwrite your |
| uncommitted changes.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> <code>-B</code> <em><branch></em> [<em><start-point></em>]</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>The same as <code>-b</code>, except that if the branch already exists it |
| resets <code>_</code><em><branch></em><code>_</code> to the start point instead of failing.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> <code>--detach</code> [<em><branch></em>]</dt> |
| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> [<code>--detach</code>] <em><commit></em></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>The same as <code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> <em><branch></em>, except that instead of pointing |
| <code>HEAD</code> at the branch, it points <code>HEAD</code> at the commit ID. |
| See the "DETACHED HEAD" section below for more.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Omitting <em><branch></em> detaches <code>HEAD</code> at the tip of the current branch.</p> |
| </div> |

| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> <em><tree-ish></em> [<code>--</code>] <em><pathspec></em>...</dt> |
| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> <em><tree-ish></em> <code>--pathspec-from-file=</code><em><file></em> [<code>--pathspec-file-nul</code>]</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Replace the specified files and/or directories with the version from |
| the given commit or tree and add them to the index |
| (also known as "staging area").</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>For example, <code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> <code>main</code> <code>file.txt</code> will replace <code>file.txt</code> |
| with the version from <code>main</code>.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> [<code>-f</code>|<code>--ours</code>|<code>--theirs</code>|<code>-m</code>|<code>--conflict=</code><em><style></em>] [<code>--</code>] <em><pathspec></em>...</dt> |

| <dd> |
| <p>Replace the specified files and/or directories with the version from |
| the index.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>For example, if you check out a commit, edit <code>file.txt</code>, and then |
| decide those changes were a mistake, <code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> <code>file.txt</code> will |
| discard any unstaged changes to <code>file.txt</code>.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This will fail if the file has a merge conflict and you haven’t yet run |
| <code>git</code> <code>add</code> <code>file.txt</code> (or something equivalent) to mark it as resolved. |
| You can use <code>-f</code> to ignore the unmerged files instead of failing, use |
| <code>--ours</code> or <code>--theirs</code> to replace them with the version from a specific |
| side of the merge, or use <code>-m</code> to replace them with the original |
| conflicted merge result.</p> |

| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> (<code>-p</code>|<code>--patch</code>) [<em><tree-ish></em>] [<code>--</code>] [<em><pathspec></em>...]</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>This is similar to the previous two modes, but lets you use the |
| interactive interface to show the "diff" output and choose which |
| hunks to use in the result. See below for the description of |
| <code>--patch</code> option.</p> |

| <p>When switching branches, proceed even if the index or the |

| any untracked files or directories that are in the way.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>When checking out paths from the index, do not fail upon unmerged |

| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Note that during <code>git</code> <code>rebase</code> and <code>git</code> <code>pull</code> <code>--rebase</code>, <code>ours</code> and |
| <code>theirs</code> may appear swapped; <code>--ours</code> gives the version from the |

| <p>When you run <code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> <em><something></em> |
| or <code>git</code> <code>switch</code> <em><something></em> and only have one |
| remote, it may implicitly fall back on checking out and |
| tracking e.g. <code>origin/</code><em><something></em>. This stops working as soon |
| as you have more than one remote with a <em><something></em> |
| reference. This setting allows for setting the name of a |
| preferred remote that should always win when it comes to |
| disambiguation. The typical use-case is to set this to |
| <code>origin</code>.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Currently this is used by <a href="git-switch.html">git-switch(1)</a> and |
| <a href="git-checkout.html">git-checkout(1)</a> when <code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> <em><something></em> |
| or <code>git</code> <code>switch</code> <em><something></em> |
| will checkout the <em><something></em> branch on another remote, |
| and by <a href="git-worktree.html">git-worktree(1)</a> when <code>git</code> <code>worktree</code> <code>add</code> refers to a |
| remote branch. This setting might be used for other checkout-like |
| commands or functionality in the future.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>checkout.guess</code></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Provides the default value for the <code>--guess</code> or <code>--no-guess</code> |
| option in <code>git</code> <code>checkout</code> and <code>git</code> <code>switch</code>. See |
| <a href="git-switch.html">git-switch(1)</a> and <a href="git-checkout.html">git-checkout(1)</a>.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1"><code>checkout.workers</code></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>The number of parallel workers to use when updating the working tree. |
| The default is one, i.e. sequential execution. If set to a value less |
| than one, Git will use as many workers as the number of logical cores |
| available. This setting and <code>checkout.thresholdForParallelism</code> affect |
| all commands that perform checkout. E.g. checkout, clone, reset, |
| sparse-checkout, etc.</p> |

| Parallel checkout usually delivers better performance for repositories |
| located on SSDs or over NFS. For repositories on spinning disks and/or machines |
| with a small number of cores, the default sequential checkout often performs |
| better. The size and compression level of a repository might also influence how |
| well the parallel version performs. |

| <dd> |
| <p>When running parallel checkout with a small number of files, the cost |
| of subprocess spawning and inter-process communication might outweigh |
| the parallelization gains. This setting allows you to define the minimum |
| number of files for which parallel checkout should be attempted. The |
| default is 100.</p> |
