Remove a file accidentally added with git commit
Raw
remove-accidentally-added-file.md

If you've created a git commit and accidentally included one or more files you didn't intend to, you can remove those files from the commit and place them back in the "Changed but not updated" or "Untracked files" state. Note: do this only if you have not pushed the commit, since this will rewrite history.

git reset HEAD^ file(s)...
git commit --amend -C HEAD
