<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>In the first and second form, copy entries from <tree-ish> to the index.
In the third form, set the current branch head (HEAD) to <commit>, optionally
modifying index and working tree to match. The <tree-ish>/<commit> defaults
to HEAD in all forms.</p></div>
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>git reset</em> [-q] [<tree-ish>] [--] <paths>…
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
This form resets the index entries for all <paths> to their
state at <tree-ish>. (It does not affect the working tree, nor
the current branch.)
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This means that <code>git reset <paths></code> is the opposite of <code>git add
<paths></code>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>After running <code>git reset <paths></code> to update the index entry, you can
use <a href="git-checkout.html">git-checkout(1)</a> to check the contents out of the index to
the working tree.
Alternatively, using <a href="git-checkout.html">git-checkout(1)</a> and specifying a commit, you
can copy the contents of a path out of a commit to the index and to the
working tree in one go.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>git reset</em> (--patch | -p) [<tree-ish>] [--] [<paths>…]
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Interactively select hunks in the difference between the index
and <tree-ish> (defaults to HEAD). The chosen hunks are applied
in reverse to the index.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This means that <code>git reset -p</code> is the opposite of <code>git add -p</code>, i.e.
you can use it to selectively reset hunks. See the “Interactive Mode”
section of <a href="git-add.html">git-add(1)</a> to learn how to operate the <code>--patch</code> mode.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>git reset</em> [<mode>] [<commit>]
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
This form resets the current branch head to <commit> and
possibly updates the index (resetting it to the tree of <commit>) and
the working tree depending on <mode>. If <mode> is omitted,
defaults to "--mixed". The <mode> must be one of the following:
</p>
<div class="openblock">
<div class="content">
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--soft
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Does not touch the index file nor the working tree at all (but
resets the head to <commit>, just like all modes do). This leaves
all your changed files "Changes to be committed", as <em>git status</em>
would put it.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--mixed
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Resets the index but not the working tree (i.e., the changed files
are preserved but not marked for commit) and reports what has not
been updated. This is the default action.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--hard
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Resets the index and working tree. Any changes to tracked files in the
working tree since <commit> are discarded.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--merge
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Resets the index and updates the files in the working tree that are
different between <commit> and HEAD, but keeps those which are
different between the index and working tree (i.e. which have changes
which have not been added).
If a file that is different between <commit> and the index has unstaged
changes, reset is aborted.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In other words, --merge does something like a <em>git read-tree -u -m <commit></em>,
but carries forward unmerged index entries.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--keep
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Resets index entries and updates files in the working tree that are
different between <commit> and HEAD.
If a file that is different between <commit> and HEAD has local changes,
reset is aborted.

You are happily working on something, and find the changes
in these files are in good order. You do not want to see them
when you run "git diff", because you plan to work on other files
and changes with these files are distracting.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Somebody asks you to pull, and the changes sounds worthy of merging.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
However, you already dirtied the index (i.e. your index does
not match the HEAD commit). But you know the pull you are going
to make does not affect frotz.c nor filfre.c, so you revert the
index changes for these two files. Your changes in working tree
remain there.
</p>

Then you can pull and merge, leaving frotz.c and filfre.c
changes still in the working tree.

"pull" has not made merge commit, so "git reset --hard"

<div class="paragraph"><p>"reset --merge" is meant to be used when resetting out of a conflicted
merge. Any mergy operation guarantees that the working tree file that is
involved in the merge does not have local change wrt the index before
it starts, and that it writes the result out to the working tree. So if
we see some difference between the index and the target and also
between the index and the working tree, then it means that we are not
resetting out from a state that a mergy operation left after failing
with a conflict. That is why we disallow --merge option in this case.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>"reset --keep" is meant to be used when removing some of the last
commits in the current branch while keeping changes in the working
tree. If there could be conflicts between the changes in the commit we
want to remove and the changes in the working tree we want to keep,
the reset is disallowed. That’s why it is disallowed if there are both
changes between the working tree and HEAD, and between HEAD and the
target. To be safe, it is also disallowed when there are unmerged
entries.</p></div>
