# How Do I Undo ‘Git Add’ before Commit?

To undo a `git add` command before committing your changes, you can use the `git reset` command. Here's how you can do it:

### Step 1: Check the Status

First, check the status of your files to see which ones you've added:

```bash
git status
```

This will show you which files are currently staged (added) for commit.

### Step 2: Undo the `git add`

To unstage a file that you previously added with `git add`, you can use:

```bash
git reset <file>
```

Replace `<file>` with the name of the file you want to unstage. If you want to unstage all files, you can use:

```bash
git reset
```

This will unstage all files that you've added but not yet committed.

### Step 3: Check the Status Again

After running `git reset`, you can check the status again to ensure that the files are no longer staged:

```bash
git status
```

The files that you've just unstaged should now appear as "Changes not staged for commit".

### Notes:

- `git reset` will only unstage the changes; it won't discard any modifications you've made to the files.
- If you want to completely discard the changes in a file that you've added but not yet committed, you can use `git checkout -- <file>`.
