If you accidentally added a file or files using git add that you didn’t intend to include in your commit, you can undo the add operation by using the following command:
git reset <file>
Replace <file> with the name of the file that you want to remove from the staging area. If you want to remove all files from the staging area, you can use the command:
git reset
This will unstage all changes and remove all files from the staging area.
After using git reset, the file or files will still be modified in your working directory. If you want to completely undo the changes made to the file or files, you can use the command:
git checkout -- <file>
This will replace the file in your working directory with the last committed version of the file. Note that this command will discard any changes made to the file since the last commit, so use it with caution.
Once you’ve undone the git add operation, you can make any necessary changes to the files and then re-add them to the staging area using git add before committing.
