Thank you for mentioning git restore. Answering to your question, my brain filtered all the output of git status except "modified: ..." There are multiple reasons: - command named restore. I don't know what it will restore. Maybe it will restore a clean version? Maybe it will remove all my changes? I don't want to risk. - I don't know what means "unstage". I didn't run "git stage" to add my files, why should I run git restore --staged to undo git add? If command would be named "git unadd" and description would be "undo git add", it would be more obvious than git restore --staged or git reset. I asked my friends, no one remembered how to undo git add. One said: " - May be it's git reset but I'm not sure, need to check before apply". And he agreed that "git unadd" would be a more obvious.
