How to undo git add before commit?
git reset file_name
To undo git add before a commit use git reset file_name, with the selected path or file as a parameter.
After this you can commit the remaining changes in your staging area.
git status
On branch main
Changes to be committed:
(use "git restore --staged..." to unstage)
modified: README.md
git reset README.md
Unstaged changes after reset:
M README.md
git status
On branch main
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: README.md
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
