This could be a very simple question. I commited my work, then I launched a find and replace script but I want to undo it, so to let my work go down to the actual commit. What is the right command to do that : I know about git reset soft/hard or git amend but it is not appropriate

Why is git reset --hard not appropriate? – bwroga Jan 31 '13 at 13:52

Why is `git reset --hard HEAD` not appropriate? It ditches all your modifications, leaving you at the state of `HEAD`. – Michael Wild Jan 31 '13 at 13:52

@MichaelWild I thought git reset--hard would undo the current commit, no ? – user1611830 Jan 31 '13 at 14:00

1No, `git reset --hard HEAD^` does (notice the carret). – Michael Wild Jan 31 '13 at 14:03

You have a couple of options:
As the comments state git reset --hard will bring everything back.
But if you want to keep some of the files modified then doing:
git checkout -- <filename>
Will undo individual files.

Ouah, I put git reset --hard, I indeed went to my last commit but all the modifications I commited disappear. I don't know what screwed up, is oit possible to find the history of files including what they were after git reset --hard – user1611830 Jan 31 '13 at 14:50

Git reset --hard undoes all your changes. If you did not commit the changes, there is no way to see them. http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-reset.html – Schleis Jan 31 '13 at 15:23
