Revert file from Git remote branch

-
You can revert just that single file from other remote branch without touching anything else. Option 1: Restore file from remote branch (recommended) 
git fetch origin 
git checkout origin/[remote_branch] -- file_path_in_GIT
This will: Take the version of the file from remote origin/[remote_branch] Overwrite your local copy Leave you on your current branch Then commit it: 
git commit -m "Revert file from other branch"
Option 2: If your local branch is already tracking the remote branch You can shorten it to: 
git checkout [remote_branch] -- file_path_in_GIT
(Still followed by a commit.) Option 3: Using modern git restore (Git ≥ 2.23) 
git fetch origin 
git restore --source=origin/[remote_branch] -- file_path_in_GIT
Then commit: 
git commit -m " Revert file from other branch"
Verify before committing (optional but smart) 
git diff
⚠️ Notes This does not switch branches This does not affect other files Any uncommitted changes to that file will be overwritten

Start all Docker containers

-
To start (bring up) all existing Docker containers , use this: docker start $(docker ps -aq) Explanation docker ps -aq → lists all containers (running or stopped) docker start → starts stopped containers If you are using Docker Compose From the directory with docker-compose.yml: docker compose up -d Or for multiple compose projects (containers already created): docker compose start Useful checks See all containers and their status: docker ps -a See only running containers: docker ps Common gotcha If you see access forbidden , it means: Image not pulled (private registry) Not logged in Login first: docker login Then retry: docker start $(docker ps -aq)
