GIT Resets

GIT REST HELP

• Soft
• git reset --soft <commit id>
• Mixed
• git reset --mixed <commit id>
• Hard
• git reset --hard <commit id>

Check git log status:

git log --oneline

Soft:

git reset --soft <commit id>

Result:

Brings the files changed after this commit id into staging index. 

i.e, as if those changed files were added using git add command.

Mixed:

git reset --mixed <commit id>

Result:

Brings the files changed after this commit id into Working Directory. 

i.e, as if those changed files were changed but not gone through git add yet.

Hard:

git reset --hard <commit id>

This is the most dangerous command as it is going to completely wipe out our working directory and staging index. Any files you were tinkering with will be gone.

Result:

Brings the files changed after this commit id into staging index. 

i.e, as if those changed files were added using git add command.

git reset --hard HEAD

This will bring your code base to the commit where HEAD is pointing to.

Basically this will wipe out any changes in Working Directory and Staging Index.
