git-status-reset

To reset your Git working directory, you can use git status to identify changes, then apply git reset with soft, mixed, or hard modes and git clean to remove untracked files. The Skill coordinates these operations with safety warnings to prevent irreversible data loss.

Git reset soft moves HEAD but keeps staged and working changes, mixed unstages changes while keeping files, and hard discards all tracked changes entirely. The Skill supports all three modes and provides appropriate safeguards to help you choose safely.

You can remove untracked files from your Git working directory using git clean. The Skill coordinates git clean alongside git reset operations to restore a stable working state, providing warnings to prevent deleting files you intended to keep.

Use git reset hard to discard tracked file modifications and return to a specific commit, while git clean targets untracked files not managed by version control. The Skill coordinates both to handle typical scenarios where you need a fully clean working directory.
