How do you do "git checkout -- .emacs" using magit?

Question

When a file (like .emacs for example) is modified in a Git repository, if I want to git pull git refuses to do so because I have a modified file. Git proposes to remove the modification by doing

git checkout -- .emacs

But how do you do that using Magit ? I have seen that -- is the equivalent of --ignore-skip-worktree-bits but I don't see this option in Magit.

Answer 1

Either stash the modifications with z or kill the modifications with k.

The latter, with point at .emacs, is the equivalent of checking out the latest/unmodified revision of that file. You can also apply it to the entire list of modified files.
