I have executed the following command
git add <foo.java> git commit -m "add the foo.java file" How can I delete my local commit now and unstage foo.java?
If I type git reset --hard, I found that it reverts my modified foo.java to the original one.

To unstage commits on Git, use the “git reset” command with the “–soft” option and specify the commit hash. Alternatively, if you want to unstage your last commit, you can the “HEAD” notation in order to revert it easily. Using the “–soft” argument, changes are kept in your working directory and index.
To undo git add before a commit, run git reset <file> or git reset to unstage all changes.
git reset --soft HEAD~1 should do what you want. After this, you'll have the first changes in the index (visible with git diff --cached), and your newest changes not staged. git status will then look like this:
# On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: foo.java # # Changes not staged for commit: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: foo.java # You can then do git add foo.java and commit both changes at once.
