I've just done a git add -i on a file with a lot of changes, and realised I accidentally staged one hunk that I didn't intend to.

How can I un-stage this hunk, without having to repeat the entire add and reselect all of the other hunks that I did want to commit?

Do you know of interactive reset (`git reset -p`)? Works like interactive staging (`git add -p`), but in reverse. – jub0bs Jan 07 '19 at 16:04

`:O` No I didn't - thank you! `git reset -p` does exactly what I want `:)` – user234461 Jan 07 '19 at 16:13

@jubobs I just love this. Thanks for the hint, should have been a proper answer. – Romain Valeri Jan 07 '19 at 16:24

There's also `git checkout -p` which discards changes in the working tree – evolutionxbox Jan 07 '19 at 17:50
