How to discard uncommitted changes in SourceTree?

Question

I'm new to the Git environment, and I'm using BitBucket with SourceTree on Mac. All I want to do now is to discard the changes since last commit. How should I do this? I haven't found anything like "discard changes", and directly pulling from the last commit doesn't seem to work. Solutions done with either the GUI or command line will be good.

Solution 1

I like to use

git stash

This stores all uncommitted changes in the stash. If you want to discard these changes later just git stash drop (or git stash pop to restore them).

Though this is technically not the "proper" way to discard changes (as other answers and comments have pointed out).

SourceTree: On the top bar click on icon 'Stash', type its name and create. Then in left vertical menu you can "show" all Stash and delete in right-click menu. There is probably no other way in ST to discard all files at once.

Solution 2

On SourceTree for Mac, right click the files you want to discard (in the Files in the working tree list), and choose Reset.

On SourceTree for Windows, right click the files you want to discard (in the Working Copy Changes list), and choose Discard.

On git, you'd simply do:

git reset --hard to discard changes made to versioned files;

git clean -xdf to erase new (untracked) files, including ignored ones (the x option). d is to also remove untracked directories and f to force.

Solution 3

On the unstaged file, click on the three dots on the right side. Once you click it, a popover menu will appear where you can then Discard file.

Solution 4

Follow steps to discard multiple uncommited changes in Sourcetree.

New version of Sourcetree does not have -Reset Button- as mentioned previous answer. Thus, please follow these 5 steps for solution.

1. Right click "File status" and click "Reset...".

2. Select files. If you want, you can select all of them like the below image.

3. Click "Reset All".

4. Again click "Reset All".

5. Click "Reset".

Welldone..! No more 302 files to discard.

Solution 5

Ok I just noticed that my question was already answered in the question title.

To unstage files use

git reset HEAD /file/name

And to undo the changes to a file

git checkout -- /file/name

If you have a batch of files inside a folder you can undo the whole folder

git checkout -- /folder/name

Note that all these commands are already displayed when you git status

Here I created a dummy repo and listed all 3 possibilities

# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#       modified:   test
#
# 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:   test2
#
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#       test3
