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

User · Answer

You can just use following git command which can revert back all the uncommitted changes made in your repository:

git checkout .

Example:

ABC@ABC-PC MINGW64 /c/xampp/htdocs/pod_admin (master)
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

        modified:   application/controllers/Drivers.php
        modified:   application/views/drivers/add.php
        modified:   application/views/drivers/load_driver_info.php
        modified:   uploads/drivers/drivers.xlsx

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

ABC@ABC-PC MINGW64 /c/xampp/htdocs/pod_admin (master)
$ git checkout .

ABC@ABC-PC MINGW64 /c/xampp/htdocs/pod_admin (master)
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

One non-trivial way is to run these two commands    git stash  This will move your changes to the stash  bringing you back to the state of HEAD git stash drop  This will delete the latest stash created in the last command

Please note that there might still be files that won t seem to disappear - they might be unedited  but git might have marked them as being edited because of CRLF   LF changes  See if you ve made some changes in  gitattributes recently   In my case I ve added CRLF settings into the  gitattributes file and all the files remained in the  modified files  list because of this  Changing the  gitattributes settings made them disappear
