Git staging to working directory?

Question

I have a question concerning the git reset command:

git reset .
git reset HEAD .

What is the difference between the two commands? Are making same changes?

Answer 1

Yes, it does exactly the same. If you omit the commit id, it will default to HEAD.

Answer 2

1. Git Reset: to undo commits:

   • --soft (does not change stage index or working directory)
   • --mixed (default) (changes stage index to match repository)
   • --hard (change stage index and working directory)

Example: git reset "hashValueOfAnyCommit"

2. Git Reset HEAD: Unstage file from your stage
