+    <h1>2.4 Git Basics - Undoing Things</h1>
+  <div>
+<h2 id="_undoing">Undoing Things</h2>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>At any stage, you may want to undo something.
+Here, we’ll review a few basic tools for undoing changes that you’ve made.
+Be careful, because you can’t always undo some of these undos.
+This is one of the few areas in Git where you may lose some work if you do it wrong.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>One of the common undos takes place when you commit too early and possibly forget to add some files, or you mess up your commit message.
+If you want to redo that commit, make the additional changes you forgot, stage them, and commit again using the <code>--amend</code> option:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ git commit --amend</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>This command takes your staging area and uses it for the commit.
+If you’ve made no changes since your last commit (for instance, you run this command immediately after your previous commit), then your snapshot will look exactly the same, and all you’ll change is your commit message.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The same commit-message editor fires up, but it already contains the message of your previous commit.
+You can edit the message the same as always, but it overwrites your previous commit.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>As an example, if you commit and then realize you forgot to stage the changes in a file you wanted to add to this commit, you can do something like this:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ git commit -m 'Initial commit'
+$ git add forgotten_file
+$ git commit --amend</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>You end up with a single commit — the second commit replaces the results of the first.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="admonitionblock note">
+<table>
+<tr>
+<td class="icon">
+<div class="title">Note</div>
+</td>
+<td class="content">
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>It’s important to understand that when you’re amending your last commit, you’re not so much fixing it as <em>replacing</em> it entirely with a new, improved commit that pushes the old commit out of the way and puts the new commit in its place.
+Effectively, it’s as if the previous commit never happened, and it won’t show up in your repository history.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The obvious value to amending commits is to make minor improvements to your last commit, without cluttering your repository history with commit messages of the form, “Oops, forgot to add a file” or “Darn, fixing a typo in last commit”.</p>

+For example, let’s say you’ve changed two files and want to commit them as two separate changes, but you accidentally type <code>git add *</code> and stage them both.
+How can you unstage one of the two?
