What's the correct command to revert my files in git?

Question

I'm new to git.

I'm working on a project, the files under the project directory are commited, and I just added many files by mistake. They are neither added to git nor commit.

Now I want removed them, so I try:

git revert HEAD

But they are still there, and messages are:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c git revert HEAD
Finished one revert.
error: Terminal is dumb, but EDITOR unset
Please supply the message using either -m or -F option.
shell returned 1
Hit any key to close this window...

(I'm using windows and gvim)

What's the correct command?

Answer 1

You can do git clean -f to remove all untracked files.
