I may explain it in this way….

My Files: ABC
---> git add .

My Files: ABC
---> git commit -m "initial setup"

My Files: CDE

I want to roll back to “My Files: ABC”

Answer 1

As I understand it: you started out with the folder, which had files A,B,C in it. In this folder you ran the commands

git init
git add .
git commit -m 'initial setup'

Then you made changes to files A,B,C, and now you want to undo those changes? In that case, just run

git checkout *

or I think this works too:

git checkout .

and it will undo any uncommitted changes you’ve made to the files git is tracking.
