I ran git status which told me everything was up to date and there were no local changes.
Then I made several consecutive changes and realized I wanted to throw everything away and get back to my original state. Will this command do it for me?
git reset --hard HEAD
To revert changes made to your working copy, do this:
git checkout .
Or equivalently, for git version >= 2.23:
git restore .
To revert changes made to the index (i.e., that you have added), do this. Warning this will reset all of your unpushed commits to master!:
git reset
To revert a change that you have committed:
git revert <commit 1> <commit 2>
To remove untracked files (e.g., new files, generated files):
git clean -f
Or untracked directories (e.g., new or automatically generated directories):
git clean -fd
