GIT-UNWIP(1)

💖 git-unwip — bestie's guide to un-WIP-ing 💖

okay so you know when you panic-commit and go "wip" and then immediately regret it? yeah. this is that fix. it's a page from the Git Extras collection, manual section 1, and it is iconic for exactly one job: undoing a Work In Progress commit. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

git-unwip — Undo a Work In Progress commit 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

git-unwip

that's it. no flags, no args, no drama. she's a one-trick pony and the trick is slaying. 🌈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Undo a Work In Progress commit. 💅

literally that's the whole thing. you made a WIP commit, you want it gone, you run this, and it's gone. no cap. ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

None 🍓

not "a few", not "just a couple" — None. zero. zip. the option section is empty and honestly? she doesn't need them. main character energy. 👑

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

Step 1: Create a WIP commit which stores all changes in the working directory. 🦋

$ git wip

Step 2: Later on, undo the commit and continue making changes. 😭💖

$ git unwip

see how the second one is literally just the first one but sad? no bestie, it's not sad, it's healing. the commit goes away, your changes stay, you keep vibing. 🔥

ngl, there's nothing dangerous here — no exit statuses to memorise, no signals, no env vars, no hidden defaults. just a cute little undo button. use her wisely. 🌸
