Remove File From Commit using Git Restore To install newer versions of Git, you can check this tutorial. To remove files from commits, use the “git restore” command, specify the source using the “–source” option and the file to be removed from the repository.
To undo git add before a commit, run git reset <file> or git reset to unstage all changes.
To remove the last commit from git, you can simply run git reset --hard HEAD^ If you are removing multiple commits from the top, you can run git reset --hard HEAD~2 to remove the last two commits. You can increase the number to remove even more commits.
Set “–assume-unchanged” to a path to exclude to check on git commit and it will exclude your file from git commit. You will need to use the git update-index and –assume-unchanged to exclude files from git commit.
Check out this mercurial tip. To cite the link - if you have accidentally added a file, the way to undo that (changing its status from A back to ?, or unknown) is hg revert. For example, if you just ran hg add and realized that you do not want files foo or bar to be tracked by Mercurial:
hg revert foo bar If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
