git reset HEAD on removed directory

ALL,

I am trying to revert following operations:

cd <my_proect> && rm mysql-connector-c && git rm mysql-connector-c

at least until I figure out how to update to the current version properly.

Trying to run git reset HEAD mysql-connector-c does not unstage it, because running git status still shows them green and ready to commit

I guess I can try to run git pull to bring that code back and undo the rm command.

But I was wondering if its possible to do without it

TIA!!

Solution

  • You can use git restore

    git restore --staged --worktree mysql-connector-c

    --staged to restore the index and --worktree to restore the content.

    Old way is to use git checkout

    git checkout HEAD -- mysql-connector-c/
