I would like to reset my working directory to the state in another commit. In pure git, I'd use git checkout <commit> -- <file>. Is there a way to reach similar functionality from any of the dispatch popups in magit?

Is there a pre-defined keyboard shortcut for it in one of the dispatch popups?– NikratioOct 3, 2016 at 4:26

Well, what is magit's use case? Using Git from emacs without having to type out the git command (or, in this case, an even longer emacs command).– NikratioOct 4, 2016 at 2:21

None. That's why no key is bound to the command. The command exists because someone asked the same question some other time I assume. You can of course bind some key to it. Personally I almost never use it and when then I use the equivalent git command. But if I knew a compelling use then I might be able to think of a suitable key binding. That's why I asked.– tarsiusOct 4, 2016 at 8:33
