Why won't “git reset HEAD” undo my uncommitted, unstaged changes?

Question

I\'ve previously been able to undo changes through SourceTree by performing the \"Discard\" function, which under the hood produces this command:

git -c diff.mne         


        

Answer 1

What you want is git reset HEAD --hard. git reset HEAD only un stages changes.

I suggest you also take a look at how git can be set to auto convert/deconvert line endings because on projects with multiple developers working on different platforms this will cause anger when a single edit on a file causes git blame to show you as having changed the whole file.
