Undo File Changes with Git
One of my favorite features in modern text editors is their ability to integrate tools to format code upon every save. When you're working on legacy projects, however, auto-formatting can be a problem; if you open a file that you don't explicitly change, the file may still get modified by the formatter. This all leads to git status showing a bunch of file modifications that you don't want.
To quickly undo file changes with git, execute the following two commands:
git reset HEAD path/to/file.ext
git checkout path/to/file.ext
The second command (checkout) is required or you'll still see the file listed when running git status again. With both of those executions, you'll no longer see the file listed with git status.
git makes version control easy but the two steps needed to essentially revert changes to a file aren't intuitive, thus I thought I would share on this blog. Happy coding!

One of my huge web peeves is when an element has click events attached to it but the element doesn't sport the "pointer" cursor. I mean how the hell is the user supposed to know they can/should click on...
![Save Web Form Content Using Control + S]()
We've all used word processing applications like Microsoft Word and if there's one thing they've taught you it's that you need to save every few seconds in anticipation of the inevitable crash. WordPress has mimicked this functionality within their WYSIWYG editor and I use it...
