Background

A few posts ago we touched on a couple of git commands.

Let us talk about git reset.

Thankfully, rarely use it.

Scenario

Here is what led to this post.

I created a couple of files.

But, did not like the folder that I created the files under.

Structurally, it made more sense to place the file in a new separate folder.

 

Outline

1. Show Current Status
   • git status
2. Rollback Local Git Changes
   • git reset
3. Show Current Status ( Post Git Reset )
   • git status
4. Move Files
   • Use File System file move commands
   • In Linux
     • Use mv
5. Add Files referencing the new location
   • git add
6. Show Current Status ( Post Git Add )
   • git status
7. Re-Commit Changes
   • git commit
8. Upload Changes ( Upload local repository content to a remote repository )
   • git push
