Git kata: Restoring files

We all make mistakes. Sometimes we make changes we'd rather not have made, or accidentally stage changes we didn't intend to stage. This is where git restore comes into play.

Setup

1. Run source setup.sh (or .\setup.ps1 in PowerShell)

The task

1. Call git status
   What changes were made to this repository?
2. Restore the foo.txt file using git restore foo.txt
3. Call git status again
   What happened to foo.txt?
4. Unstage the changes to bar.txt using git restore --staged bar.txt
5. Call git status once more
   What happened to bar.txt?
6. Restore the bar.txt file using git restore bar.txt
7. Call git status once more
   What happened to bar.txt?
8. Call git log --oneline
   Do you spot the tag?
9. Restore foo.txt's contents to their previous version using git restore -s v1.0.0 foo.txt
10. Call git status one last time
    What happened to foo.txt?
