What exactly do you think discard means?

[-] Hawke@lemmy.world 67 points 5 days ago

“Changes” are not the same thing as “files”.

I’d expect that files that are not in version control would not be touched.

"Changes" encompass more than you think. Creating / Deleting files are also changes, not just edits to a file.

If the change is an edit to a tracked file, "Discard Changes" will reverse the edit.
If the change is deleting a tracked file, "Discard Changes" will restore it back.
If the change is a new untracked file, "Discard Changes" will remove it as intended.

It can also be all of them at the same time, which is why VSCode uses "Changes" instead of "Files".

If the change is a new untracked file

Wasn't the issue that it deleted a bunch of preexisting untracked files? So old untracked files.
