This continues Julia Evans's excellent work updating the git-reset docs. Changes in v3: - Adjust "git reset -p" description per Junio's review Changes in v2: - Mostly address Junio's review while keeping to Julia's style (?), taking at a stab at a few gray areas. - I left alone the first patch, the commented-upon part of which is later rewritten anyway. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1991.git.1760731558.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/ (local) v2: https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover.1766103827.git.ben.knoble+github@gmail.com/ (local) Published-as: https://github.com/benknoble/git/tree/bk/je/doc-reset Generated-with: git format-patch -v3 --in-reply-to=cover.1766103827.git.ben.knoble+github@gmail.com --range-diff=d6582dc53ca852ef01421d2dd2c446dadb731dad~4..d6582dc53ca852ef01421d2dd2c446dadb731dad -o PATCHES origin.. --cc 'Julia Evans [off-list ref]' Julia Evans (4): doc: git-reset: reorder the forms doc: git-reset: clarify intro doc: git-reset: clarify `git reset [mode]` doc: git-reset: clarify `git reset <pathspec>` Documentation/git-reset.adoc | 105 ++++++++++++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 54 insertions(+), 51 deletions(-) Diff-intervalle contre v2 : 1: a558c5a868 = 1: a558c5a868 doc: git-reset: reorder the forms 2: f90be8559f = 2: f90be8559f doc: git-reset: clarify intro 3: 89c87c14aa = 3: 89c87c14aa doc: git-reset: clarify `git reset [mode]` 4: d6582dc53c ! 4: 96566265d8 doc: git-reset: clarify `git reset <pathspec>` @@ Documentation/git-reset.adoc: linkgit:git-add[1]). - in reverse to the index. + Interactively select changes from the difference between the index + and the specified commit or tree (which defaults to `HEAD`). -+ The chosen changes are added to the index. ++ The index is modified using the chosen changes. + This means that `git reset -p` is the opposite of `git add -p`, i.e. -you can use it to selectively reset hunks.
