git reset

Undo commits or unstage changes, by resetting the current Git HEAD to the specified state.

If a path is passed, it works as "unstage"; if a commit hash or branch is passed, it works as "uncommit".

• Unstage everything:

git reset

• Unstage specific file(s):

git reset {path/to/file(s)}

• Interactively unstage portions of a file:

git reset --patch {path/to/file}

• Undo the last commit, keeping its changes (and any further uncommitted changes) in the filesystem:

git reset HEAD~

• Undo the last two commits, adding their changes to the index, i.e. staged for commit:

git reset --soft HEAD~2

• Discard any uncommitted changes, staged or not (for only unstaged changes, use `git checkout`):

git reset --hard

• Reset the repository to a given commit, discarding committed, staged and uncommitted changes since then:

git reset --hard {commit}
