The reset command performs a hard reset of your git repository while carefully preserving all files in the .codegen directory. This is useful for undoing codemod changes while keeping your codemod implementations intact.

​
Usage

gs reset

​
What it Does

When you run gs reset, it:
  1. Backs up all files in .codegen directory, preserving their content and staged/unstaged status
  2. Performs a hard reset (git reset --hard HEAD) on the repository
  3. Restores all .codegen files to their previous state, including their git staging status
  4. Removes untracked files (except those in .codegen)
This is more sophisticated than git checkout . as it:
  • Preserves both staged and unstaged changes in .codegen
  • Handles deleted files correctly
  • Removes untracked files (like git clean) while protecting .codegen

​
Examples

Reset after testing a codemod: 
# Run your codemod
gs run organize-imports

# If the changes aren't what you wanted
gs reset  # Reverts changes but keeps your codemod implementation
This command performs a hard reset and removes untracked files. Make sure you have committed any changes you want to keep outside of .codegen.
