# Unstage
- To remove files from stage use reset HEAD where HEAD is the last commit of the current branch. This will unstage the file but maintain the modifications.
```shell
git reset HEAD <file>
```
- To revert the file back to the state it was in before the changes we can use:
```shell
git checkout -- <file>
```
- To remove a file from disk and repo use `git rm` and to remove a directory use the `-r` flag:
```shell
git rm '*.txt'
git rm -r <dirname>
```
- If we want to remove a file from the repository but keep it on disk, say we forgot to add it to our `.gitignore` file then use `--cache`:
```shell
git rm <filename> --cache
```
