Question

I created and switched to a new branch and made some changes that haven’t been commited.
How do I return to the state of my last commit?
I used

git reset --hard HEAD

but all the changed files are still present

edit;
after running the above and then git status it says “nothing added to commit but untracked files present”.
I thought using git reset…would get rid of all the changes

Answer 1

git clean removes all files (recursively) that are not under version control, starting from the current directory.

See the git clean docs for more info
