Git Remove Files From Last Add + Commit + Push
February 17, 2020I make some changes and added a new directory to the local directory and run
git add .
git commit -m "Some changes"
git push origin master
Now, I wanted to:
- remove the new directory from the git, both local and server
- keep the other changes I made
git reset --soft HEAD^
NOTE: Run git log -1
and you will see the last commit is “gone”.
NOTE: Run git status
and you will see the new directory is still added.
To remove directory which is added by previous git add .
git reset HEAD DIRECTORY_NAME
NOTE: You could remove single file as well
NOTE: Run git status
to confirm the directory/files are removed.
Commit again by re-using the same commit message
git commit -c ORIG_HEAD
Push
git push -f origin master
NOTE: Force is required, else it shall show complain of Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind its remote counterpart.
