I made a new repository, and ran git add -A. I then noticed that there was a folder containing about 100 files that shouldn't have been included, so I added it to .gitignore.
How do I now clear the staging area so that I can add all my files again taking into account the updated .gitignore?

In Git, we can use git reset HEAD -- 'files/folders/patterns' to remove files or folders from the staging area (Changes to be committed).
git rm --cached -r . --cached tells it to remove the paths from staging and the index without removing the files themselves and -r operates on directories recursively. You can then git add any files that you want to keep tracking.
“how to remove all files from staging area git” Code Answer's. git restore --staged . git rm --cached -r .
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.
In #git, you said you unintentionally added a directory that should have been ignored, so run
git rm --cached -r directory-name to recursively remove the tree rooted at directory-name from the index.
Don't forget to update .gitignore!
