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!

In case you have not heard of this effect, it basically includes different layers of images that are moving in different directions or with different speed. This leads to a...
The jQuery homepage has a pretty suave tooltip-like effect as seen below:
The amount of jQuery required to duplicate this effect is next to nothing; in fact, there's more CSS than there is jQuery code! Let's explore how we can duplicate jQuery's tooltip effect.
