This basically translates the man-page from 'git-developerish' to plain english, adding some almost-sample output from git-status so users can recognize what will happen. Also mention explicitly that --mixed updates the index, while --soft doesn't. I understood the old text to mean "--mixed is exactly like --soft, but verbose".

git-reset(1)
|

============
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-reset - Reset current HEAD to the specified state.
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-reset' [--mixed | --soft | --hard] [<commit-ish>]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Sets the current head to the specified commit and optionally resets the
|
|
index and working tree to match.
|
|
|
|
This command is useful if you notice some small error in a recent
|
|
commit (or set of commits) and want to redo that part without showing
|
|
the undo in the history.
|
|
|
|
If you want to undo a commit other than the latest on a branch,
|
|
gitlink:git-revert[1] is your friend.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
--mixed::
|
|
Resets the index but not the working tree (ie, the changed files
|
|
are preserved but not marked for commit) and reports what has not
|
|
been updated. This is the default action.
|
|
|
|
--soft::
|
|
Does not touch the index file nor the working tree at all, but
|
|
requires them to be in a good order. This leaves all your changed
|
|
files "Updated but not checked in", as gitlink:git-status[1] would
|
|
put it.
|
|
|
|
--hard::
|
|
Matches the working tree and index to that of the tree being
|
|
switched to. Any changes to tracked files in the working tree
|
|
since <commit-ish> are lost.
|
|
|
|
<commit-ish>::
|
|
Commit to make the current HEAD.
