1git-reset(1) 2============ 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-reset - Reset current HEAD to the specified state. 7 8SYNOPSIS 9-------- 10'git-reset' [--mixed | --soft | --hard] [<commit-ish>] 11 12DESCRIPTION 13----------- 14Sets the current head to the specified commit and optionally resets the 15index and working tree to match. 16 17This command is useful if you notice some small error in a recent 18commit (or set of commits) and want to redo that part without showing 19the undo in the history. 20 21If you want to undo a commit other than the latest on a branch, 22gitlink:git-revert[1] is your friend. 23 24OPTIONS 25------- 26--mixed:: 27 Resets the index but not the working tree (ie, the changed files 28 are preserved but not marked for commit) and reports what has not 29 been updated. This is the default action. 30 31--soft:: 32 Does not touch the index file nor the working tree at all, but 33 requires them to be in a good order. This leaves all your changed 34 files "Updated but not checked in", as gitlink:git-status[1] would 35 put it. 36 37--hard:: 38 Matches the working tree and index to that of the tree being 39 switched to. Any changes to tracked files in the working tree 40 since <commit-ish> are lost. 41 42<commit-ish>:: 43 Commit to make the current HEAD. 44 45Author 46------ 47Written by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> and Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 48 49Documentation 50-------------- 51Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 52 53GIT 54--- 55Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 56
