I did the following comments
git add /file1/path
git rm /file/path
git commit -m "message"
how do I undo my last commit using git?
Like I don't want to have those files committed.

Warning: Don't do this if you've already pushed
You want to do:
git reset HEAD~
If you don't want the changes and blow everything away:
git reset --hard HEAD~

1Please edit your answer, you just cost me a lot of files. I thought you meant remove all of GIT while trying to set up a new repository... Wow.– 1984Commented Jul 3, 2017 at 14:55

6I do have a lack of understanding about git, but use it very often. I doubt I was the first, there should be a warning on the answer for idiots like me. I only wanted to reset git, not lose my directory (I had no prior commit to retrieve).– 1984Commented Jul 5, 2017 at 23:45

5Doesn't work
fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD~': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions– GreenCommented Nov 5, 2017 at 12:36 -
15"Don't do this if you've already pushed" - Why not? If you don't explain the intent, comments like that are what lead to crazy dogmas.– PharapCommented Mar 27, 2018 at 18:06
git commit(and leave the working tree unmodified?), or do they wish to also revert the working tree?
