title: Git undo
tags: git, bash

More often than I would like, I'm commiting using `git commit -a`, and I end
up with files commited that aren't supposed to be there

To undo the latest commit, I can `git reset HEAD~`, but for whatever reason, I
can't fit this in my head. So I just added a `git undo` alias:

```bash
git config --global alias.undo 'reset HEAD~'
```

And that's it! I will remember `git undo`. Hopefully I will also stop from
putting `-a` everywhere. (Get out of my muscle memory!)
