There are certain scenarios where you need to unstage local Git commit changes. As everything with Git, there are multiple angles from which you can approach almost anything.
Prerequisites
- Git
Solution(s)
Unstage commit but keep changes
git reset --soft HEAD
Unstage commit and get rid of any changes
git reset --hard HEAD
Note(s): HEAD means that you will unstage your last commit. If that’s not the case, replace HEAD with the preferred commit ID.
