Undo local changes interactive

The command you are looking for is

$git checkout -p

The git checkout Manual Page says:

-p

--patch

Interactively select hunks in the difference between the (or the index, if unspecified) and the working tree. The chosen hunks are then applied in reverse to the working tree (and if a was specified, the index).

This means that you can use git checkout -p to selectively discard edits from your current working tree. See the “Interactive Mode” section of git-add(1) to learn how to operate the --patch mode.

If you want to restore staged changes interactively, use git reset --patch or git reset -p.

From the docs:

git reset (--patch | -p) [] [--] [...]

Interactively select hunks in the difference between the index and (defaults to HEAD). The chosen hunks are applied in reverse to the index.

This means that git reset -p is the opposite of git add -p, i.e. you can use it to selectively reset hunks. See the “Interactive Mode” section of git-add(1) to learn how to operate the --patch mode.

and about git add -p it says

-p

Interactively choose hunks of patch between the index and the work tree and add them to the index. This gives the user a chance to review the difference before adding modified contents to the index.

This effectively runs add --interactive, but bypasses the initial command menu and directly jumps to the patch subcommand. See “Interactive mode” for details.

So basically with git reset -p you can select what you reset.
