What is the equivalent of doing a plain `git reset <sha>` in magit?

Question

I sometimes want to undo a commit without losing the changes, but just placing them back into an uncommitted and unstaged state. To do that at the cli, I do just git reset <sha-of-previous-commit>.

How would I do the same in magit?

Answer 1

Use x or X s to do so.

Using the X prefix has the benefit that it shows you all the available git reset variants.

This is also documented in the Resetting section of the manual.
