Vim vi how to reload a file your editing

By
5.8. How do I reload/re-edit the current file?

You can use the ":edit" command, without specifying a file name, to reload
the current file. If you have made modifications to the file, you can use
":edit!" to force the reload of the current file (you will lose your
modifications).

For more information, read

:help :edit
:help :edit!
:help 'confirm'

Thanks for this - very helpful. Also, I use this to automatically reload files without asking me:
:set autoread

I've discovered this is a workaround for a bug in Vim folding.

Ups and downs are parts of life. Everything was going well. You were partying; the job was good and hence, life was good. Suddenly, you have been called upon for a hair follicle drug test at your workplace. An article published in the Forensic Science International in 2005 made such a claim. The subject of this study was a woman who had stopped consuming cocaine after year-long drug abuse. Visit: https://www.urineworld.com/
