Wrong files added in commit

This post helps users to revert changes made while using git. We might add wrong files while committing. It is a good practice to use

git status

to check what files are currently worked on. So this is what you have done

• Added the wrong files to the staging area
• Commited
• Not push

What to do now?

• Reset to the last commit

git reset --soft HEAD~1

• Remove folders that you dont want

git reset node_modules/

• Check status to see the added files in the staging area

git status

• Make new commits

git commit -m "Cleaning styles.css"

• Push the commits

git push -u origin master
