Question This question already has answers here: </div> Undo working copy modifications of one file in Git (15 answers) Closed 5 years ago. I'm trying to undo local changes to a specific file. Nothing has been committed. When I want to revert all changes, I can perform git revert --reset HEAD. However, in this case, I don't want to revert all changes to all files.

Question My .gitignore file seems to be being ignored by Git - could the .gitignore file be corrupt? Which file format, locale or culture does Git expect?
