How to undo the git add before a commit

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to undo the files from staged to the unstaged area in git.

Undoing git add before commit (single file)

To undo the git add for a single file before a commit, we need to run the git reset command followed by your file name.

Example:

git reset app.js

Now app.js file is unstaged.

Undoing git add before commit (all files)

To undo the git add for all files before a commit, we need to run the git reset command.

Example:

git reset

This above command will undo all files from the staged list.
