Reset git add after commit or push

#git #howto #tips

I also sometimes meet the situation:

$ git add .  $ git commit -m "<commit-comments>" [main xxxxxxxx] <commit-comments>  99 files changed, 99999 insertions(+)  ...  create mode 100644 <unexpected-file>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

"Hey, wait ( ﾟдﾟ)"

In such a case, git reset HEAD^ <unexpected-file> is available.

$ git reset HEAD^ <unexpected-file> [main xxxxxxxx] <commit-comments>  98 files changed, 98888 insertions(+)  ... $ # "create ... <unexpected-file>" is not printed  $ git commit --amend $ # HEAD^ is changed
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Happier, possibly🙂

Besides, when git push has been already done, running git push --force|-f origin main after the commit above updates the remote repository. It may affect others.
