Is there a way to issue the command:
git checkout NameOfFile
on a modified and unstaged file from within MAGIT?
You can use one of the below to discard changes in unstaged files:
M-x magit-revert-item(bound tovinmagit-status-mode)M-x magit-discard-item(bound tokinmagit-status-mode) - works on staged items too
Using either method will ask you to confirm before discarding.

2You can also use
kwhich is bound tomagit-discard-iteminmagit-mode. – Kaushal Modi May 26 '15 at 16:35 -

Tried using both methods, however I still receive the message: "Nothing to discard here". – user2522280 Jun 12 '15 at 15:55

thanks! Magit-mode seems like the best way to do just about everything I've found... – Jimmy Hoffa Apr 9 '16 at 16:32

@user2522280 Have you saved your file?
git statusshould give you information that the file has been modified. – user12563 Oct 19 '18 at 16:40
Reversing, reverting and discarding are distinct actions. Together with staging and unstaging, they are referred to as "apply variants".
To discard a change means to throw it away. Only un-committed changes can be discarded. When a staged change is discarded it is not only removed from the index (that is known as unstaging), but also from the work tree.
To reverse a change means to apply it to the work tree in reverse. Both committed and merely staged changes can be reversed. (Reversing staged changes is actually useful, i.e. when splitting up a commit).
Only commits can be reverted, in other regards it's similar to reversing.
