16 | DESCRIPTION | |
17 | ----------- | |
64bac8df AM |
18 | In the first three forms, copy entries from `<tree-ish>` to the index. |
19 | In the last form, set the current branch head (`HEAD`) to `<commit>`, | |
3006f5ee MÅ |
20 | optionally modifying index and working tree to match. |
21 | The `<tree-ish>`/`<commit>` defaults to `HEAD` in all forms. | |
7b8cd49d | 22 | |
d137b507 | 23 | 'git reset' [-q] [<tree-ish>] [--] <pathspec>...:: |
64bac8df AM |
24 | 'git reset' [-q] [--pathspec-from-file=<file> [--pathspec-file-nul]] [<tree-ish>]:: |
25 | These forms reset the index entries for all paths that match the | |
d137b507 AM |
26 | `<pathspec>` to their state at `<tree-ish>`. (It does not affect |
27 | the working tree or the current branch.) | |
7b8cd49d | 28 | + |
d137b507 AM |
29 | This means that `git reset <pathspec>` is the opposite of `git add |
30 | <pathspec>`. This command is equivalent to | |
31 | `git restore [--source=<tree-ish>] --staged <pathspec>...`. | |
9980d7de | 32 | + |
d137b507 | 33 | After running `git reset <pathspec>` to update the index entry, you can |
80f537f7 NTND |
34 | use linkgit:git-restore[1] to check the contents out of the index to |
35 | the working tree. Alternatively, using linkgit:git-restore[1] | |
36 | and specifying a commit with `--source`, you | |
9980d7de MG |
37 | can copy the contents of a path out of a commit to the index and to the |
38 | working tree in one go. | |
6934dec8 | 39 | |
d137b507 | 40 | 'git reset' (--patch | -p) [<tree-ish>] [--] [<pathspec>...]:: |
7b8cd49d | 41 | Interactively select hunks in the difference between the index |
3006f5ee | 42 | and `<tree-ish>` (defaults to `HEAD`). The chosen hunks are applied |
7b8cd49d TR |
43 | in reverse to the index. |
44 | + | |
6086ff65 VH |
45 | This means that `git reset -p` is the opposite of `git add -p`, i.e. |
46 | you can use it to selectively reset hunks. See the ``Interactive Mode'' | |
6cf378f0 | 47 | section of linkgit:git-add[1] to learn how to operate the `--patch` mode. |
6934dec8 | 48 | |
d505865b | 49 | 'git reset' [<mode>] [<commit>]:: |
3006f5ee MÅ |
50 | This form resets the current branch head to `<commit>` and |
51 | possibly updates the index (resetting it to the tree of `<commit>`) and | |
52 | the working tree depending on `<mode>`. If `<mode>` is omitted, | |
53 | defaults to `--mixed`. The `<mode>` must be one of the following: | |
7b8cd49d TR |
54 | + |
55 | -- | |
f67545ea | 56 | --soft:: |
a58088ab | 57 | Does not touch the index file or the working tree at all (but |
3006f5ee MÅ |
58 | resets the head to `<commit>`, just like all modes do). This leaves |
59 | all your changed files "Changes to be committed", as `git status` | |
cca5d0b0 | 60 | would put it. |
7fc9d69f | 61 | |
bb59b7ff TR |
62 | --mixed:: |
63 | Resets the index but not the working tree (i.e., the changed files | |
64 | are preserved but not marked for commit) and reports what has not | |
65 | been updated. This is the default action. | |
b4b313f9 NTND |
66 | + |
67 | If `-N` is specified, removed paths are marked as intent-to-add (see | |
68 | linkgit:git-add[1]). | |
bb59b7ff | 69 | |
f67545ea | 70 | --hard:: |
d537c749 | 71 | Resets the index and working tree. Any changes to tracked files in the |
0e29222e EN |
72 | working tree since `<commit>` are discarded. Any untracked files or |
73 | directories in the way of writing any tracked files are simply deleted. | |
7fc9d69f | 74 | |
1b5b465f | 75 | --merge:: |
d537c749 | 76 | Resets the index and updates the files in the working tree that are |
3006f5ee | 77 | different between `<commit>` and `HEAD`, but keeps those which are |
d537c749 MG |
78 | different between the index and working tree (i.e. which have changes |
79 | which have not been added). | |
3006f5ee MÅ |
80 | If a file that is different between `<commit>` and the index has |
81 | unstaged changes, reset is aborted. | |
d537c749 | 82 | + |
3006f5ee | 83 | In other words, `--merge` does something like a `git read-tree -u -m <commit>`, |
d537c749 | 84 | but carries forward unmerged index entries. |
1b5b465f | 85 | |
7349df11 | 86 | --keep:: |
8c0db6fd | 87 | Resets index entries and updates files in the working tree that are |
3006f5ee MÅ |
88 | different between `<commit>` and `HEAD`. |
89 | If a file that is different between `<commit>` and `HEAD` has local | |
90 | changes, reset is aborted. | |
b3cec573 DR |
91 | |
92 | --[no-]recurse-submodules:: | |
93 | When the working tree is updated, using --recurse-submodules will | |
94 | also recursively reset the working tree of all active submodules | |
95 | according to the commit recorded in the superproject, also setting | |
96 | the submodules' HEAD to be detached at that commit. | |

148 | <1> You are happily working on something, and find the changes | |
ba170517 JNA |
149 | in these files are in good order. You do not want to see them |
150 | when you run `git diff`, because you plan to work on other files | |
151 | and changes with these files are distracting. | |
680b469e | 152 | <2> Somebody asks you to pull, and the changes sound worthy of merging. |
8bb95bbc | 153 | <3> However, you already dirtied the index (i.e. your index does |
ba170517 JNA |
154 | not match the `HEAD` commit). But you know the pull you are going |
155 | to make does not affect `frotz.c` or `filfre.c`, so you revert the | |
156 | index changes for these two files. Your changes in working tree | |
157 | remain there. | |
3006f5ee | 158 | <4> Then you can pull and merge, leaving `frotz.c` and `filfre.c` |
ba170517 | 159 | changes still in the working tree. |

434e6ef8 | 173 | <2> Make corrections to working tree files. |
3006f5ee | 174 | <3> "reset" copies the old head to `.git/ORIG_HEAD`; redo the |

434e6ef8 | 222 | <1> Try to update from the upstream resulted in a lot of |

224 | right now, so you decide to do that later. | |
3006f5ee | 225 | <2> "pull" has not made merge commit, so `git reset --hard` |
ba170517 JNA |
226 | which is a synonym for `git reset --hard HEAD` clears the mess |
227 | from the index file and the working tree. | |

ba170517 | 229 | in a fast-forward. |
434e6ef8 | 230 | <4> But you decided that the topic branch is not ready for public |
ba170517 JNA |
231 | consumption yet. "pull" or "merge" always leaves the original |
232 | tip of the current branch in `ORIG_HEAD`, so resetting hard to it | |
233 | brings your index file and the working tree back to that state, | |
234 | and resets the tip of the branch to that commit. | |

247 | <1> Even if you may have local modifications in your | |

249 | that the change in the other branch does not overlap with | |
250 | them. | |
1b5b465f | 251 | <2> After inspecting the result of the merge, you may find |
ba170517 JNA |
252 | that the change in the other branch is unsatisfactory. Running |
253 | `git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD` will let you go back to where you | |
254 | were, but it will discard your local changes, which you do not | |
255 | want. `git reset --merge` keeps your local changes. | |

329 | Split a commit apart into a sequence of commits:: |
330 | + | |
64127575 | 331 | Suppose that you have created lots of logically separate changes and committed |
f94baa4d JK |
332 | them together. Then, later you decide that it might be better to have each |
333 | logical chunk associated with its own commit. You can use git reset to rewind | |
334 | history without changing the contents of your local files, and then successively | |
335 | use `git add -p` to interactively select which hunks to include into each commit, | |
336 | using `git commit -c` to pre-populate the commit message. | |
337 | + | |
338 | ------------ | |
339 | $ git reset -N HEAD^ <1> | |
340 | $ git add -p <2> | |
341 | $ git diff --cached <3> | |
342 | $ git commit -c HEAD@{1} <4> | |
343 | ... <5> | |
344 | $ git add ... <6> | |
345 | $ git diff --cached <7> | |
346 | $ git commit ... <8> | |
347 | ------------ | |
348 | + | |
349 | <1> First, reset the history back one commit so that we remove the original | |
350 | commit, but leave the working tree with all the changes. The -N ensures | |
3006f5ee | 351 | that any new files added with `HEAD` are still marked so that `git add -p` |
f94baa4d | 352 | will find them. |
3006f5ee | 353 | <2> Next, we interactively select diff hunks to add using the `git add -p` |
f94baa4d JK |
354 | facility. This will ask you about each diff hunk in sequence and you can |
355 | use simple commands such as "yes, include this", "No don't include this" | |
356 | or even the very powerful "edit" facility. | |
357 | <3> Once satisfied with the hunks you want to include, you should verify what | |
3006f5ee | 358 | has been prepared for the first commit by using `git diff --cached`. This |
f94baa4d JK |
359 | shows all the changes that have been moved into the index and are about |
360 | to be committed. | |
3006f5ee | 361 | <4> Next, commit the changes stored in the index. The `-c` option specifies to |
f94baa4d | 362 | pre-populate the commit message from the original message that you started |
3006f5ee MÅ |
363 | with in the first commit. This is helpful to avoid retyping it. The |
364 | `HEAD@{1}` is a special notation for the commit that `HEAD` used to be at | |
365 | prior to the original reset commit (1 change ago). | |
366 | See linkgit:git-reflog[1] for more details. You may also use any other | |
367 | valid commit reference. | |
f94baa4d JK |
368 | <5> You can repeat steps 2-4 multiple times to break the original code into |
369 | any number of commits. | |
370 | <6> Now you've split out many of the changes into their own commits, and might | |
3006f5ee | 371 | no longer use the patch mode of `git add`, in order to select all remaining |

372 | uncommitted changes. |
373 | <7> Once again, check to verify that you've included what you want to. You may | |
374 | also wish to verify that git diff doesn't show any remaining changes to be | |
375 | committed later. | |
376 | <8> And finally create the final commit. | |

379 | DISCUSSION | |
380 | ---------- | |
381 | ||
382 | The tables below show what happens when running: | |
383 | ||
384 | ---------- | |
385 | git reset --option target | |
386 | ---------- | |
387 | ||
3006f5ee | 388 | to reset the `HEAD` to another commit (`target`) with the different |
28bb4b27 TR |
389 | reset options depending on the state of the files. |
390 | ||
3006f5ee | 391 | In these tables, `A`, `B`, `C` and `D` are some different states of a |
28bb4b27 | 392 | file. For example, the first line of the first table means that if a |
3006f5ee MÅ |
393 | file is in state `A` in the working tree, in state `B` in the index, in |
394 | state `C` in `HEAD` and in state `D` in the target, then `git reset --soft | |
395 | target` will leave the file in the working tree in state `A` and in the | |
396 | index in state `B`. It resets (i.e. moves) the `HEAD` (i.e. the tip of | |
397 | the current branch, if you are on one) to `target` (which has the file | |
398 | in state `D`). | |

3006f5ee | 460 | `reset --merge` is meant to be used when resetting out of a conflicted |
06cdac5a | 461 | merge. Any mergy operation guarantees that the working tree file that is |
56cb2d30 DL |
462 | involved in the merge does not have a local change with respect to the index |
463 | before it starts, and that it writes the result out to the working tree. So if | |
28bb4b27 | 464 | we see some difference between the index and the target and also |
06cdac5a | 465 | between the index and the working tree, then it means that we are not |
28bb4b27 | 466 | resetting out from a state that a mergy operation left after failing |
3006f5ee | 467 | with a conflict. That is why we disallow `--merge` option in this case. |
28bb4b27 | 468 | |
3006f5ee | 469 | `reset --keep` is meant to be used when removing some of the last |
28bb4b27 TR |
470 | commits in the current branch while keeping changes in the working |
471 | tree. If there could be conflicts between the changes in the commit we | |
472 | want to remove and the changes in the working tree we want to keep, | |
473 | the reset is disallowed. That's why it is disallowed if there are both | |
3006f5ee | 474 | changes between the working tree and `HEAD`, and between `HEAD` and the |
28bb4b27 TR |
475 | target. To be safe, it is also disallowed when there are unmerged |
476 | entries. | |
477 | ||
478 | The following tables show what happens when there are unmerged | |
479 | entries: | |

3006f5ee | 501 | `X` means any state and `U` means an unmerged index. |
