How to revert uncommitted changes including files and folders?

Question

Is there a git command to revert all uncommitted changes in a working tree and index and to also remove newly created files and folders?

Answer 1

One non-trivial way is to run these two commands:

1. git stash This will move your changes to the stash, bringing you back to the state of HEAD
2. git stash drop This will delete the latest stash created in the last command.
