I mistakenly added files to Git using the command:
git add myfile.txt
I have not yet run git commit. How do I undo this so that these changes will not be included in the commit?
git reset file> to unstage a particular file .\n\nThat will remove the file from the current index (the \”about to be committed\” list) without anything else; to remove all files from current change set: git reset reset.\n\nThe above commands are equivalent to git reset HEAD file>, while in older versions of Git, they will fail ifHEAD is undefined (because you haven\’t made any commits in your repository) or ambiguous (for example, you created a branch called hEAD, which is stupid thing that you should not do) This was reverted to in the 1.8.2 (in the current version of gi 1.9.2), but in modern versions, even before making your first commit:\n\n\”git reset\” (without options or parameters) error out when you do not have any commits in your history, but it now gives you an empty index (to match non-existent commit you are not even on).\n\nDocumentation: git reset: documentation .
