Ahem, the command for "Reset working directory/Discard changes/Revert to last commit" is "git reset --hard".

That's the one I use.

"git checkout -f" does the same thing, but only because their different functionality coincides when there are no other arguments. When given a non-HEAD commit-id or branch-id they do different things.

That’s a beautiful example of the problems of git :-)
