NAME

|
----
|
|
git-reset - Reset current HEAD to the specified state
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git-reset' [--mixed | --soft | --hard] [<commit>]
|
|
'git-reset' [--mixed] <commit> [--] <paths>...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Sets the current head to the specified commit and optionally resets the
|
|
index and working tree to match.
|
|
|
|
This command is useful if you notice some small error in a recent
|
|
commit (or set of commits) and want to redo that part without showing
|
|
the undo in the history.
|
|
|
|
If you want to undo a commit other than the latest on a branch,
|
|
gitlink:git-revert[1] is your friend.
|
|
|
|
The second form with 'paths' is used to revert selected paths in
|
|
the index from a given commit, without moving HEAD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
--mixed::
|
|
Resets the index but not the working tree (i.e., the changed files
|
|
are preserved but not marked for commit) and reports what has not
|
|
been updated. This is the default action.
|
|
|
|
--soft::
|
|
Does not touch the index file nor the working tree at all, but
|
|
requires them to be in a good order. This leaves all your changed
|
|
files "Added but not yet committed", as gitlink:git-status[1] would
|
|
put it.
|
|
|
|
--hard::
|
|
Matches the working tree and index to that of the tree being
|
|
switched to. Any changes to tracked files in the working tree
|
|
since <commit> are lost.
|
|
|
|
<commit>::
|
|
Commit to make the current HEAD.
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Undo a commit and redo::
|
|
+
|
|
------------
|
|
$ git commit ...
|
|
$ git reset --soft HEAD^ <1>
|
|
$ edit <2>
|
|
$ git commit -a -c ORIG_HEAD <3>
|
|
------------
|
|
+
|
|
<1> This is most often done when you remembered what you
|
|
just committed is incomplete, or you misspelled your commit
|
|
message, or both. Leaves working tree as it was before "reset".
|
|
<2> Make corrections to working tree files.
|
|
<3> "reset" copies the old head to .git/ORIG_HEAD; redo the
|
|
commit by starting with its log message. If you do not need to
|
|
edit the message further, you can give -C option instead.
|
|
+
|
|
See also the --amend option to gitlink:git-commit[1].
|
|
|
|
Undo commits permanently::
|
|
+
|
|
------------
|
|
$ git commit ...
|
|
$ git reset --hard HEAD~3 <1>
|
|
------------
|
|
+
|
|
<1> The last three commits (HEAD, HEAD^, and HEAD~2) were bad
|
|
and you do not want to ever see them again. Do *not* do this if
|
|
you have already given these commits to somebody else.
|
|
|
|
Undo a commit, making it a topic branch::
|
|
+
|
|
------------
|
|
$ git branch topic/wip <1>
|
|
$ git reset --hard HEAD~3 <2>
|
|
$ git checkout topic/wip <3>
|
|
------------
|
|
+
|
|
<1> You have made some commits, but realize they were premature
|
|
to be in the "master" branch. You want to continue polishing
|
|
them in a topic branch, so create "topic/wip" branch off of the
|
|
current HEAD.
|
|
<2> Rewind the master branch to get rid of those three commits.
|
|
<3> Switch to "topic/wip" branch and keep working.
|
|
|
|
Undo add::
|
|
+
|
|
------------
|
|
$ edit <1>
|
|
$ git add frotz.c filfre.c
|
|
$ mailx <2>
|
|
$ git reset <3>
|
|
$ git pull git://info.example.com/ nitfol <4>
|
|
------------
|
|
+
|
|
<1> You are happily working on something, and find the changes
|
|
in these files are in good order. You do not want to see them
|
|
when you run "git diff", because you plan to work on other files
|
|
and changes with these files are distracting.
|
|
<2> Somebody asks you to pull, and the changes sounds worthy of merging.
|
|
<3> However, you already dirtied the index (i.e. your index does
|
|
not match the HEAD commit). But you know the pull you are going
|
|
to make does not affect frotz.c nor filfre.c, so you revert the
|
|
index changes for these two files. Your changes in working tree
|
|
remain there.
|
|
<4> Then you can pull and merge, leaving frotz.c and filfre.c
|
|
changes still in the working tree.
|
|
|
|
Undo a merge or pull::
|
|
+
|
|
------------
|
|
$ git pull <1>
|
|
Auto-merging nitfol
|
|
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in nitfol
|
|
Automatic merge failed/prevented; fix up by hand
|
|
$ git reset --hard <2>
|
|
$ git pull . topic/branch <3>
|
|
Updating from 41223... to 13134...
|
|
Fast forward
|
|
$ git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD <4>
|
|
------------
|
|
+
|
|
<1> Try to update from the upstream resulted in a lot of
|
|
conflicts; you were not ready to spend a lot of time merging
|
|
right now, so you decide to do that later.
|
|
<2> "pull" has not made merge commit, so "git reset --hard"
|
|
which is a synonym for "git reset --hard HEAD" clears the mess
|
|
from the index file and the working tree.
|
|
<3> Merge a topic branch into the current branch, which resulted
|
|
in a fast forward.
|
|
<4> But you decided that the topic branch is not ready for public
|
|
consumption yet. "pull" or "merge" always leaves the original
|
|
tip of the current branch in ORIG_HEAD, so resetting hard to it
|
|
brings your index file and the working tree back to that state,
|
|
and resets the tip of the branch to that commit.
|
|
|
|
Interrupted workflow::
|
|
+
|
|
Suppose you are interrupted by an urgent fix request while you
|
|
are in the middle of a large change. The files in your
|
|
working tree are not in any shape to be committed yet, but you
|
|
need to get to the other branch for a quick bugfix.
|
|
+
|
|
------------
|
|
$ git checkout feature ;# you were working in "feature" branch and
|
|
$ work work work ;# got interrupted
|
|
$ git commit -a -m 'snapshot WIP' <1>
|
|
$ git checkout master
|
|
$ fix fix fix
|
|
$ git commit ;# commit with real log
|
|
$ git checkout feature
|
|
$ git reset --soft HEAD^ ;# go back to WIP state <2>
|
|
$ git reset <3>
|
|
------------
|
|
+
|
|
<1> This commit will get blown away so a throw-away log message is OK.
|
|
<2> This removes the 'WIP' commit from the commit history, and sets
|
|
your working tree to the state just before you made that snapshot.
|
|
<3> At this point the index file still has all the WIP changes you
|
|
committed as 'snapshot WIP'. This updates the index to show your
|
|
WIP files as uncommitted.
