| git-reset(1) |
| ============ |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-reset - Reset current HEAD to the specified state. |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-reset' [--mixed | --soft | --hard] [<commit-ish>] |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| --mixed:: |
| Resets the index but not the working tree (ie, 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 "Updated but not checked in", 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-ish> are lost. |
| |
| <commit-ish>:: |
| Commit to make the current HEAD. |
