git - Your branch is ahead of origin master by 1 commit

Question

I am newbie in git and I am working on git     I added some files in git      git add  lt file1 gt  git add  lt file2 gt    then I wanted to push that for review  but mistakenly I did  git commit   so the files which I have changed don t go for reviews  Now if I enter the command    git status   it says     On branch master   Your branch is ahead of  origin master  by 1 commit    nothing to commit  working directory clean    I want to revert that commit and I want to push those files for review rather than commit  Can anyone let me know how I can do that

You cannot push anything that hasn t been committed yet  The order of operations is    Make your change  git add - this stages your changes for committing git commit - this commits your staged changes locally git push - this pushes your committed changes to a remote   If you push without committing  nothing gets pushed  If you commit without adding  nothing gets committed  If you add without committing  nothing at all happens  git merely remembers that the changes you added should be considered for the following commit   The message you re seeing  your branch is ahead by 1 commit  means that your local repository has one commit that hasn t been pushed yet   In other words  add and commit are local operations  push  pull and fetch are operations that interact with a remote   Since there seems to be an official source control workflow in place where you work  you should ask internally how this should be handled

git reset HEAD  --soft  Save your changes  back to last commit   git reset HEAD  --hard  Discard changes  back to last commit

git reset HEAD  then the modified files should show up  You could move the modified files into a new branch use  git checkout -b newbranch git checkout commit -m  quot files modified quot  git push origin newbranch git checkout master then you should be on a clean branch  and your changes should be stored in newbranch  You could later just merge this change into the master branch

If you just want to throw away the changes and revert to the last commit  the one you wanted to share     git reset --hard HEAD    You may want to check to make absolutely sure you want this  git log   because you ll loose all changes    A safer alternative is to run   git reset --soft HEAD    reset to the last commit git stash                stash all the changes in the working tree  git push                 push changes  git stash pop            get your changes back
