Cancel some file after git add-CodePudding

I commit the file with this.

git add .
git commit -am 'all'

However after this, I notices that I added the wrong file(too big).

So put this line in .gitignore

*.sql

However after this *.sql file is not removed from git.

And git push origin master takes too long time.

What can I fix for this?

CodePudding user response：

You can use git reset --soft HEAD~ to undo the last commit which hasn’t been pushed.

Be careful when putting *.sql in the .gitignore, that prevents you from committing sql files in the future and you might not want that

CodePudding user response：

The simplest thing you can do is remove the file from index and then amend... that will remove the file from the revision (actually, you create a new revision)

git rm --cached the-sql-file # this _won´t_ remove the file from the working tree because of --cached
git commit --amend --no-edit
# now you can push
