SYNOPSIS

git reset [options] [commit] [--] [files...]

git reset moves the current HEAD to a specified state. It can unstage files, undo commits, or completely discard changes depending on the mode used.
The three main modes are `--soft` (keeps changes staged), `--mixed` (unstages changes, the default), and `--hard` (discards all changes). When given file paths, it unstages those files without moving HEAD.

PARAMETERS

--soft

Keep changes staged.

--mixed

Unstage changes (default).

--hard

Discard all changes.

--keep

Reset but keep local changes.

--merge

Reset to merge state.

-p, --patch

Interactive reset.

CAVEATS

Hard reset discards changes permanently. Be careful with --hard on uncommitted work.
