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

I ran into something similar. My setup is using git on a web server to pull down the most recent code. For an unknown reason, it ran into this issue.

# git reset HEAD —hard

Unstaged changes after reset:

 'File Name'

I tried all the suggested things here. None fixed it.

I fix it in this case by doing

git add 'File Name'

then,

git reset --hard HEAD

Which cleared the issue for me.
