How do I remove a file from a git repositorie's index without removing the file from the working tree?
If I had a file ./notes.txt that was being tracked by git, I could run git rm notes.txt. But that would remove the file. I'd rather want git just to stop tracking the file.
You could just use git rm --cached notes.txt. This will keep the file but remove it from the index.
git reset HEAD <file> for removing a particular file.
and git reset HEAD for removing all files from the git index.
git reset command changed since that time?
git restore --staged <file> worked fine for me
