JGit Java Git Unstaging Files Library

Question

I cannot get reset to work correctly in JGit. I.e. I can add all files to the index, and I can remove / reset / disconnect some of them from the index using the command below, but it does not work for all files. What is the proper way to disable files in JGit?

repository.getIndex().remove(getWorkignDirectoryAsFile(), new File(getWorkignDirectoryAsFile(), fileName)); repository.getIndex().write();

Answer 1

You can remove a file from the index using the JGit ResetCommand class:

 ResetCommand reset = new Git(repository).reset(); reset.setRef(Constants.HEAD); reset.addPath("foo.txt"); reset.call(); 

Answer 2

Equivalent to a simple git reset command

 git.reset().setMode(ResetType.MIXED).call(); 

Where git is an instance of org.eclipse.jgit.api.Git and ResetType refers to org.eclipse.jgit.api.ResetCommand.ResetType
