STG-RESET(1)

💅 STG-RESET(1) 💅

ok so real quick — this is a page from the StGit Manual, and bestie, if you've ever wanted to hit undo on your whole patch stack, this is literally the tool. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

stg-reset — reset the patch stack to an earlier state 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

stg reset [--hard] [<committish> [<patchname>...]]
stg reset --hard

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the whole vibe here is: you take your patch stack and you rewind it to an earlier state. time travel but make it git, periodt. ⏪

If you don't specify a state at all? Then it just resets the changes in the worktree and nothing else. lowkey the gentlest possible version of this command. 🫶

So how do you actually tell it which state you want? You give it a commit id from the stack log — and you can peep that log with stg-log(1) if you need a refresher, iykyk. 📖

And here's the cute part: you can optionally also pass patch name arguments to limit which patches get reset. so instead of nuking the whole stack, you're like "no thanks, just these ones" 💅

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• --hard — discard changes in the index and worktree 🔥

⚠️ bestie be careful — this one throws away your index and worktree changes. it's giving no-take-backs. make sure that's actually what you want before you commit to it (pun intended 😭).
