You may want to try to make a new commit: git commit -a Another way is to rerpair your Git history from your remote repository, if one exists 2010/04/30 22:48:38 -0700 paragkalra => To git@vger.kernel.org : p> I have just started learning - Git.

"git reset" by default only resets the index to match the commit that is checked out. All that is lost is "git add" done since that commit. ```
