Question

I am new to git hub, I added a file by mistake but I dont want it to be there the next time I commit..
How do I view the files that are to be committed next time? and how do I exclude files?

And in general, any recommendations for tutorials for using git hub and its commands (their official tutorials are horrible)? or any user friendly gui? I have been using cvs and svn for 3 years and I’ve never suffered that much from a version control system before!!

Answer 1

If you would like to unstage the file, e.g. revert to before you did the

$ git add not_commit.file

simple remove it from the staging area with

$ git rm --cached not_commit.file
