      If you use git and understand that VSC’s source control stuff is just a thin wrapper around git, you should understand what “discard all changes” means

        “discard” is not a git operation. Reset and restore are, but those weren’t the words used.

          I’m not claiming that “discard” is a git action. I’m claiming a git user should understand what’s meant by the phrase “discard changes”. Run git status in a repo that has changes in the working directory. In the resulting output, there’s a message:

          Changes not staged for commit:
              (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) 
              (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
                  ...
          

          The phrase “discard changes” is used consistently in git’s output.

      I just tried right now to get the exact message.

      Are you sure you want to DELETE foo?
      This is IRREVERSIBLE!
      This file will be FOREVER LOST if you proceed.

      The confirmation button even says Delete File

      User error.
