Instead of "git reset --hard stuff", I recommend "git reset --keep stuff" as it will not delete uncommited files in the working directory.

- jgraham 11y agoThat is reasonable, depending on what you are trying to achieve,, but I think the explanation you gave is a bit misleading. Neither --hard nor --keep affect files that have never been comitted. The difference is that --keep aborts if it would affect a file that is tracked, but has uncommitted changes.
