From bfe19f876cb20bea606e1a698030c017f31965c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2005 18:01:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Extend "git reset" to take a reset point This was triggered by a query by Sam Ravnborg, and extends "git reset" to reset the index and the .git/HEAD pointer to an arbitrarily named point. For example git reset HEAD^ will just reset the current HEAD to its own parent - leaving the working directory untouched, but effectively un-doing the top-most commit. You might want to do this if you realize after you committed that you made a mistake that you want to fix up: reset your HEAD back to its previous state, fix up the working directory and re-do the commit. If you want to totally un-do the commit (and reset your working directory to that point too), you'd first use "git reset HEAD^" to reset to the parent, and then do a "git checkout -f" to reset the working directory state to that point in time too.
