How do I undo 'git add' before commit?

Answer 1

In Sourcetree you can do this easily via the GUI. You can check which command Sourcetree uses to unstage a file.

I created a new file and added it to Git. Then I unstaged it using the Sourcetree GUI. This is the result:

Unstaging files [08/12/15 10:43] git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false -c credential.helper=sourcetree reset -q -- path/to/file/filename.java

Sourcetree uses reset to unstage new files.
