+<code>
+git checkout [<tree-ish>] [--] <pathspec>...
+    Overwrite paths in the working tree by replacing with the
+    contents in the index or in the <tree-ish> (most often a
+    commit). When a <tree-ish> is given, the paths that match
+    the <pathspec> are updated both in the index and in the
+    working tree.

+To restore file from HEAD:
+<code>
+$ git checkout HEAD -- <file>
