Is it possible to unstage the last staged (not committed) change in git? Suppose there were a lot of files in the current branch, some staged, some not. At some point, some foolish programmer accidentally executed:
git add -- .
…instead of:
git checkout -- .
Can this programmer now unstage his last changes with some magical git command? Or should he have committed before experimenting in the first place?
You can use
git reset. This will ‘unstage’ all the files you’ve added after your last commit.If you want to unstage only some files, use
git reset -- <file 1> <file 2> <file n>.Also it’s possible to unstage some of the changes in files by using
git reset -p.
