git checkout -- <file_name> is incorrect

[ediso74]

Currently: Undo local changes with the last content in head git checkout -- <file_name> Should be: Undo local changes with the content in index(staging) git checkout -- <file_name>

Reference: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-checkout Examples: git checkout hello.c restore hello.c from the index
