How to discard uncommitted changes in SourceTree?
I'm new to the Git environment, and I'm using BitBucket with SourceTree on Mac. All I want to do now is to discard the changes since last commit. How should I do this? I haven't found anything like "discard changes", and directly pulling from the last commit doesn't seem to work. Solutions done with either the GUI or command line will be good.
Solution 1:
On SourceTree for Mac, right click the files you want to discard (in the Files in the working tree list), and choose Reset.
On SourceTree for Windows, right click the files you want to discard (in the Working Copy Changes list), and choose Discard.
On git, you'd simply do:
git reset --hard
to discard changes made to versioned files;
git clean -xdf
to erase new (untracked) files, including ignored ones (the x
option). d
is to also remove untracked directories and f
to force.
Solution 2:
I like to use
git stash
This stores all uncommitted changes in the stash. If you want to discard these changes later just git stash drop
(or git stash pop
to restore them).
Though this is technically not the "proper" way to discard changes (as other answers and comments have pointed out).
SourceTree: On the top bar click on icon 'Stash', type its name and create. Then in left vertical menu you can "show" all Stash and delete in right-click menu. There is probably no other way in ST to discard all files at once.
Solution 3:
On the unstaged file, click on the three dots on the right side. Once you click it, a popover menu will appear where you can then Discard file
.
