How to remove files staged for commit from git add

If you accidentally add files to a commit, it’s easy to remove them through the cli.

To remove one file:

git reset imageidontwant.jpg

 

To reset all added files.  (You’ll have to re-add the files you actually want to add to the commit.)  Simply type

git reset

 

That will unstage any files.  It will not undo commits.  That’s a more complicated process.
