NAME

----
|
||||
git-reset - Reset current HEAD to the specified state
|
||||
|
||||
SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
[verse]
|
||||
'git reset' [-q] [<tree-ish>] [--] <pathspec>...
|
||||
'git reset' [-q] [--pathspec-from-file=<file> [--pathspec-file-nul]] [<tree-ish>]
|
||||
'git reset' (--patch | -p) [<tree-ish>] [--] [<pathspec>...]
|
||||
'git reset' [--soft | --mixed [-N] | --hard | --merge | --keep] [-q] [<commit>]
|
||||
DEPRECATED: 'git reset' [-q] [--stdin [-z]] [<tree-ish>]
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
In the first three forms, copy entries from `<tree-ish>` to the index.
|
||||
In the last form, set the current branch head (`HEAD`) to `<commit>`,
|
||||
optionally modifying index and working tree to match.
|
||||
The `<tree-ish>`/`<commit>` defaults to `HEAD` in all forms.
|
||||
|
||||
'git reset' [-q] [<tree-ish>] [--] <pathspec>...::
|
||||
'git reset' [-q] [--pathspec-from-file=<file> [--pathspec-file-nul]] [<tree-ish>]::
|
||||
These forms reset the index entries for all paths that match the
|
||||
`<pathspec>` to their state at `<tree-ish>`. (It does not affect
|
||||
the working tree or the current branch.)
|
||||
+
|
||||
This means that `git reset <pathspec>` is the opposite of `git add
|
||||
<pathspec>`. This command is equivalent to
|
||||
`git restore [--source=<tree-ish>] --staged <pathspec>...`.
|
||||
+
|
||||
After running `git reset <pathspec>` to update the index entry, you can
|
||||
use linkgit:git-restore[1] to check the contents out of the index to
|
||||
the working tree. Alternatively, using linkgit:git-restore[1]
|
||||
and specifying a commit with `--source`, you
|
||||
can copy the contents of a path out of a commit to the index and to the
|
||||
working tree in one go.
|
||||
|
||||
'git reset' (--patch | -p) [<tree-ish>] [--] [<pathspec>...]::
|
||||
Interactively select hunks in the difference between the index
|
||||
and `<tree-ish>` (defaults to `HEAD`). The chosen hunks are applied
|
||||
in reverse to the index.
|
||||
+
|
||||
This means that `git reset -p` is the opposite of `git add -p`, i.e.
|
||||
you can use it to selectively reset hunks. See the ``Interactive Mode''
|
||||
section of linkgit:git-add[1] to learn how to operate the `--patch` mode.
|
||||
|
||||
'git reset' [<mode>] [<commit>]::
|
||||
This form resets the current branch head to `<commit>` and
|
||||
possibly updates the index (resetting it to the tree of `<commit>`) and
|
||||
the working tree depending on `<mode>`. Before the operation, `ORIG_HEAD`
|
||||
is set to the tip of the current branch. If `<mode>` is omitted,
|
||||
defaults to `--mixed`. The `<mode>` must be one of the following:
|
||||
+
|
||||
--
|
||||
--soft::
|
||||
Does not touch the index file or the working tree at all (but
|
||||
resets the head to `<commit>`, just like all modes do). This leaves
|
||||
all your changed files "Changes to be committed", as `git status`
|
||||
would put it.
|
||||
|
||||
--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.
|
||||
+
|
||||
If `-N` is specified, removed paths are marked as intent-to-add (see
|
||||
linkgit:git-add[1]).
|
||||
|
||||
--hard::
|
||||
Resets the index and working tree. Any changes to tracked files in the
|
||||
working tree since `<commit>` are discarded. Any untracked files or
|
||||
directories in the way of writing any tracked files are simply deleted.
|
||||
|
||||
--merge::
|
||||
Resets the index and updates the files in the working tree that are
|
||||
different between `<commit>` and `HEAD`, but keeps those which are
|
||||
different between the index and working tree (i.e. which have changes
|
||||
which have not been added).
|
||||
If a file that is different between `<commit>` and the index has
|
||||
unstaged changes, reset is aborted.
|
||||
+
|
||||
In other words, `--merge` does something like a `git read-tree -u -m <commit>`,
|
||||
but carries forward unmerged index entries.
|
||||
|
||||
--keep::
|
||||
Resets index entries and updates files in the working tree that are
|
||||
different between `<commit>` and `HEAD`.
|
||||
If a file that is different between `<commit>` and `HEAD` has local
|
||||
changes, reset is aborted.
|
||||
|
||||
--[no-]recurse-submodules::
|
||||
When the working tree is updated, using --recurse-submodules will
|
||||
also recursively reset the working tree of all active submodules
|
||||
according to the commit recorded in the superproject, also setting
|
||||
the submodules' HEAD to be detached at that commit.
|
||||
--
|
||||
|
||||
See "Reset, restore and revert" in linkgit:git[1] for the differences
|
||||
between the three commands.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
OPTIONS
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
-q::
|
||||
--quiet::
|
||||
Be quiet, only report errors.
|
||||
|
||||
--refresh::
|
||||
--no-refresh::
|
||||
Refresh the index after a mixed reset. Enabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
--pathspec-from-file=<file>::
|
||||
Pathspec is passed in `<file>` instead of commandline args. If
|
||||
`<file>` is exactly `-` then standard input is used. Pathspec
|
||||
elements are separated by LF or CR/LF. Pathspec elements can be
|
||||
quoted as explained for the configuration variable `core.quotePath`
|
||||
(see linkgit:git-config[1]). See also `--pathspec-file-nul` and
|
||||
global `--literal-pathspecs`.
|
||||
|
||||
--pathspec-file-nul::
|
||||
Only meaningful with `--pathspec-from-file`. Pathspec elements are
|
||||
separated with NUL character and all other characters are taken
|
||||
literally (including newlines and quotes).
|
||||
|
||||
\--::
|
||||
Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
|
||||
|
||||
<pathspec>...::
|
||||
Limits the paths affected by the operation.
|
||||
+
|
||||
For more details, see the 'pathspec' entry in linkgit:gitglossary[7].
|
||||
|
||||
--stdin::
|
||||
DEPRECATED (use `--pathspec-from-file=-` instead): Instead of taking
|
||||
list of paths from the command line, read list of paths from the
|
||||
standard input. Paths are separated by LF (i.e. one path per line) by
|
||||
default.
|
||||
|
||||
-z::
|
||||
DEPRECATED (use `--pathspec-file-nul` instead): Only meaningful with
|
||||
`--stdin`; paths are separated with NUL character instead of LF.
|
||||
|
||||
EXAMPLES
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
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 sound 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` or `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 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 linkgit:git-commit[1].
|
||||
|
||||
Undo a commit, making it a topic branch::
|
||||
+
|
||||
------------
|
||||
$ git branch topic/wip <1>
|
||||
$ git reset --hard HEAD~3 <2>
|
||||
$ git switch 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 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. (See the
|
||||
"RECOVERING FROM UPSTREAM REBASE" section in linkgit:git-rebase[1]
|
||||
for the implications of doing so.)
|
||||
|
||||
Undo a merge or pull::
|
||||
+
|
||||
------------
|
||||
$ git pull <1>
|
||||
Auto-merging nitfol
|
||||
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in nitfol
|
||||
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
|
||||
$ 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Undo a merge or pull inside a dirty working tree::
|
||||
+
|
||||
------------
|
||||
$ git pull <1>
|
||||
Auto-merging nitfol
|
||||
Merge made by recursive.
|
||||
nitfol | 20 +++++----
|
||||
...
|
||||
$ git reset --merge ORIG_HEAD <2>
|
||||
------------
|
||||
+
|
||||
<1> Even if you may have local modifications in your
|
||||
working tree, you can safely say `git pull` when you know
|
||||
that the change in the other branch does not overlap with
|
||||
them.
|
||||
<2> After inspecting the result of the merge, you may find
|
||||
that the change in the other branch is unsatisfactory. Running
|
||||
`git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD` will let you go back to where you
|
||||
were, but it will discard your local changes, which you do not
|
||||
want. `git reset --merge` keeps your local changes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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 switch feature ;# you were working in "feature" branch and
|
||||
$ work work work ;# got interrupted
|
||||
$ git commit -a -m "snapshot WIP" <1>
|
||||
$ git switch master
|
||||
$ fix fix fix
|
||||
$ git commit ;# commit with real log
|
||||
$ git switch 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.
|
||||
+
|
||||
See also linkgit:git-stash[1].
|
||||
|
||||
Reset a single file in the index::
|
||||
+
|
||||
Suppose you have added a file to your index, but later decide you do not
|
||||
want to add it to your commit. You can remove the file from the index
|
||||
while keeping your changes with git reset.
|
||||
+
|
||||
------------
|
||||
$ git reset -- frotz.c <1>
|
||||
$ git commit -m "Commit files in index" <2>
|
||||
$ git add frotz.c <3>
|
||||
------------
|
||||
+
|
||||
<1> This removes the file from the index while keeping it in the working
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
<2> This commits all other changes in the index.
|
||||
<3> Adds the file to the index again.
|
||||
|
||||
Keep changes in working tree while discarding some previous commits::
|
||||
+
|
||||
Suppose you are working on something and you commit it, and then you
|
||||
continue working a bit more, but now you think that what you have in
|
||||
your working tree should be in another branch that has nothing to do
|
||||
with what you committed previously. You can start a new branch and
|
||||
reset it while keeping the changes in your working tree.
|
||||
+
|
||||
------------
|
||||
$ git tag start
|
||||
$ git switch -c branch1
|
||||
$ edit
|
||||
$ git commit ... <1>
|
||||
$ edit
|
||||
$ git switch -c branch2 <2>
|
||||
$ git reset --keep start <3>
|
||||
------------
|
||||
+
|
||||
<1> This commits your first edits in `branch1`.
|
||||
<2> In the ideal world, you could have realized that the earlier
|
||||
commit did not belong to the new topic when you created and switched
|
||||
to `branch2` (i.e. `git switch -c branch2 start`), but nobody is
|
||||
perfect.
|
||||
<3> But you can use `reset --keep` to remove the unwanted commit after
|
||||
you switched to `branch2`.
|
||||
|
||||
Split a commit apart into a sequence of commits::
|
||||
+
|
||||
Suppose that you have created lots of logically separate changes and committed
|
||||
them together. Then, later you decide that it might be better to have each
|
||||
logical chunk associated with its own commit. You can use git reset to rewind
|
||||
history without changing the contents of your local files, and then successively
|
||||
use `git add -p` to interactively select which hunks to include into each commit,
|
||||
using `git commit -c` to pre-populate the commit message.
|
||||
+
|
||||
------------
|
||||
$ git reset -N HEAD^ <1>
|
||||
$ git add -p <2>
|
||||
$ git diff --cached <3>
|
||||
$ git commit -c HEAD@{1} <4>
|
||||
... <5>
|
||||
$ git add ... <6>
|
||||
$ git diff --cached <7>
|
||||
$ git commit ... <8>
|
||||
------------
|
||||
+
|
||||
<1> First, reset the history back one commit so that we remove the original
|
||||
commit, but leave the working tree with all the changes. The -N ensures
|
||||
that any new files added with `HEAD` are still marked so that `git add -p`
|
||||
will find them.
|
||||
<2> Next, we interactively select diff hunks to add using the `git add -p`
|
||||
facility. This will ask you about each diff hunk in sequence and you can
|
||||
use simple commands such as "yes, include this", "No don't include this"
|
||||
or even the very powerful "edit" facility.
|
||||
<3> Once satisfied with the hunks you want to include, you should verify what
|
||||
has been prepared for the first commit by using `git diff --cached`. This
|
||||
shows all the changes that have been moved into the index and are about
|
||||
to be committed.
|
||||
<4> Next, commit the changes stored in the index. The `-c` option specifies to
|
||||
pre-populate the commit message from the original message that you started
|
||||
with in the first commit. This is helpful to avoid retyping it. The
|
||||
`HEAD@{1}` is a special notation for the commit that `HEAD` used to be at
|
||||
prior to the original reset commit (1 change ago).
|
||||
See linkgit:git-reflog[1] for more details. You may also use any other
|
||||
valid commit reference.
|
||||
<5> You can repeat steps 2-4 multiple times to break the original code into
|
||||
any number of commits.
|
||||
<6> Now you've split out many of the changes into their own commits, and might
|
||||
no longer use the patch mode of `git add`, in order to select all remaining
|
||||
uncommitted changes.
|
||||
<7> Once again, check to verify that you've included what you want to. You may
|
||||
also wish to verify that git diff doesn't show any remaining changes to be
|
||||
committed later.
|
||||
<8> And finally create the final commit.

DISCUSSION
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
The tables below show what happens when running:
|
||||
|
||||
----------
|
||||
git reset --option target
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
to reset the `HEAD` to another commit (`target`) with the different
|
||||
reset options depending on the state of the files.
|
||||
|
||||
In these tables, `A`, `B`, `C` and `D` are some different states of a
|
||||
file. For example, the first line of the first table means that if a
|
||||
file is in state `A` in the working tree, in state `B` in the index, in
|
||||
state `C` in `HEAD` and in state `D` in the target, then `git reset --soft
|
||||
target` will leave the file in the working tree in state `A` and in the
|
||||
index in state `B`. It resets (i.e. moves) the `HEAD` (i.e. the tip of
|
||||
the current branch, if you are on one) to `target` (which has the file
|
||||
in state `D`).

`reset --merge` is meant to be used when resetting out of a conflicted
|
||||
merge. Any mergy operation guarantees that the working tree file that is
|
||||
involved in the merge does not have a local change with respect to the index
|
||||
before it starts, and that it writes the result out to the working tree. So if
|
||||
we see some difference between the index and the target and also
|
||||
between the index and the working tree, then it means that we are not
|
||||
resetting out from a state that a mergy operation left after failing
|
||||
with a conflict. That is why we disallow `--merge` option in this case.
|
||||
|
||||
`reset --keep` is meant to be used when removing some of the last
|
||||
commits in the current branch while keeping changes in the working
|
||||
tree. If there could be conflicts between the changes in the commit we
|
||||
want to remove and the changes in the working tree we want to keep,
|
||||
the reset is disallowed. That's why it is disallowed if there are both
|
||||
changes between the working tree and `HEAD`, and between `HEAD` and the
|
||||
target. To be safe, it is also disallowed when there are unmerged
|
||||
entries.
|
||||
|
||||
The following tables show what happens when there are unmerged
|
||||
entries:

|
||||
....
|
||||
|
||||
`X` means any state and `U` means an unmerged index.
