Just in case anyone is interested, it can be done via GitHub's Menu Bar: Repository/Discard changes to selected files.

3I don't see this on Github Desktop version 1.0.10 (Windows), but Jonathan's answer worked for me. Right click on 'N changed files' at the top of the changed files list, and you'll find the option to 'Discard All Changes' – Andrew Dec 07 '17 at 00:31

1It doesn't work already. Now you need to right click on `changed files`. As Jonathan said below. – guar47 Mar 24 '18 at 12:53

Right click on any file and you'll find the option to 'Discard All Changes':

1This is the only way to do it in the new version I think. Thank you! – user3607282 Mar 20 '18 at 06:56

If anyone would be interested to do this without Github Desktop, since I got to this page by searching;
"How discard all changes work in Github Desktop?"
Just run the command below in your project folder from terminal:
git reset --hard

In 2022 I would use `git restore` which is commit history immutable, rather than `git reset --hard` that would be commit history mutable : any mutable operations are not recommended, especially for beginners who understand very little on how Git works ! – projektorius96 Oct 23 '22 at 17:12

Use
git checkout .
to revert local changes and add a
git pull
to fetch the latest code from remote
