Git Unstaging - RM or Restore? Why we have different options
Git gives us two different commands to unstage file changes depending on the state of the repo.
1) rm --cached which simply removes the file from the staging/index area
2) restore --staged which resets the file to the version in the repo
Which one is displayed depends on whether we have any commits in the repo, so with no commits we'll be told to use rm --cached as there is no HEAD to restore too, and if we have commits in the DB the restore --staged is specified as the command to use as otherwise we'll remove the file from the staging/index area which will end up with git status showing us 'deleted' and 'modified'
