Equivalent of "git reset --soft HEAD~1". Got sick of googling it every time with my goldfish memory.

Just a brew package at this point, but feel free to suggest alternatives.

  [alias]
  unstage = reset HEAD              # remove files from index (tracking)
  uncommit = reset --soft HEAD^     # go back before last commit, with files in uncommitted state

You can do an alias.

Good point. TIL :)
git config --global alias.uncommit 'reset --soft HEAD~1'
