What does 'git reset' command do without any option?

What does 'git reset' command will do without any 开发者_StackOverflowother option? Will it reset the staging index with the head?

Exactly.

Without option, "git reset" is interpreted as "git reset --mixed HEAD".

git reset has three modes: soft, mixed, and hard (the default is "mixed").

Like many other git commands, git reset takes an argument which is a reference to a commit (a branch name, a tag name, a commit SHA, a relative reference like HEAD~2). By default, if no reference is specified, HEAD is used.

I suggest you read the last blog entry of "Progit", which explains in detail the "git reset" command: http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Reset-Demystified
