Take a File Off the Stage

Sometimes you stage a file with git add and then realize you're not ready to commit it yet. You don't want to lose the changes - you just want to move the file back from "staged" to "modified."

Let's add a multiplication function and stage it:

cat << 'EOF' > calculator.py
# calculator.py - A simple calculator

def add(a, b):
    """Add two numbers and return the result."""
    return a + b

def subtract(a, b):
    """Subtract b from a and return the result."""
    return a - b

def multiply(a, b):
    """Multiply two numbers and return the result."""
    return a * b

# Try it out
result_add = add(5, 3)
result_sub = subtract(10, 4)
result_mul = multiply(6, 7)
print(f"5 + 3 = {result_add}")
print(f"10 - 4 = {result_sub}")
print(f"6 * 7 = {result_mul}")
EOF
git add calculator.py
