Discard all changes at once using GitHub Desktop

Question

How can I discard all changes at once in GitHub Desktop? (I use it on Windows)

I used to do:

but can't see the option any more since GitHub for Windows upgraded itself silently (and changed its name to GitHub Desktop on the way).

I don't want to do it manually for each file one by one. I know I can use the git shell.

I use the latest version of GitHub Desktop, viz. 3.0.1.1.

What about GitHub Desktop? (https://desktop.github.com/release-notes/windows/ or https://desktop.github.com/release-notes/mac/) — VonC, Aug 19 '15 at 07:19
Oh right, thanks for pointing that out, looks like the program has its name updated when it got upgraded. — Franck Dernoncourt, Aug 19 '15 at 07:29
Ok, but 3.0.1.1 sounds ancient. Right now, GitHub Desktop for Windows is at v3.0.3. — VonC, Aug 19 '15 at 07:32

I found it... now we need to right-click precisely on the "X changes" text in blue:

On GitHub Desktop for Mac v2.17: Menu Bar > Repository > Discard Changes to Selected Files.

I am having similar problem with the new version 0.8.0, I dint find "Discard changes to Selected Files" under Repository – Sunil Rao Sep 01 '17 at 10:53
I believe they have now removed the Discard Changes To Selected Files option from the Repository menu. Terrible. – saner Jan 30 '18 at 01:25

This ought to be just a comment, but I thought a screenshot of current looks might be useful. So to add to Franck's excellent answer:
