If you want to revert changes made to the index (i.e., that you have added), do this. Warning this will reset all of your unpushed commits to master!:

git reset

If you want to revert a change that you have committed, do this:

git revert ...

If you want to remove untracked files (e.g., new files, generated files):

git clean -f

Or untracked directories:

git clean -d
