Undo multiple file and folder 'git add'

Solution 1

git reset (which is equivalent to git reset HEAD) will un-add (more commonly "unstage") all files.

In Git, revert is used for undoing an existing commit (typically a commit that happened a while ago, or has been shared with others). If your commit has not yet been shared with others, there are ways to "rewrite" recent history such that you can pretend the changes you want to revert never happened in the first place.

Solution 2

You can unstage all snapshots with git reset HEAD or selectively unstage paths with git reset HEAD -- <filepath>.
