How to discard uncommitted changes in SourceTree?
MacosGitBitbucketAtlassian SourcetreeMacos Problem Overview
I'm new to the Git environment, and I'm using BitBucket with SourceTree on Mac. All I want to do now is to discard the changes since last commit. How should I do this? I haven't found anything like "discard changes", and directly pulling from the last commit doesn't seem to work. Solutions done with either the GUI or command line will be good.

On SourceTree for Mac, right click the files you want to discard (in the Files in the working tree list), and choose Reset.
On SourceTree for Windows, right click the files you want to discard (in the Working Copy Changes list), and choose Discard.
On git, you'd simply do:
git reset --hard to discard changes made to versioned files;
git clean -xdf to erase new (untracked) files, including ignored ones (the x option). d is to also remove untracked directories and f to force.

I like to use
git stash
This stores all uncommitted changes in the stash. If you want to discard these changes later just git stash drop (or git stash pop to restore them).
Though this is technically not the "proper" way to discard changes (as other answers and comments have pointed out).
SourceTree: On the top bar click on icon 'Stash', type its name and create. Then in left vertical menu you can "show" all Stash and delete in right-click menu. There is probably no other way in ST to discard all files at once.
Solution 3 - Macos
On the unstaged file, click on the three dots on the right side. Once you click it, a popover menu will appear where you can then Discard file.

Follow steps to discard multiple uncommited changes in Sourcetree.
> New version of Sourcetree does not have -Reset Button- as mentioned previous answer. Thus, please follow these 5 steps for solution.
- Right click "File status" and click "Reset...".
> 2. Select files. If you want, you can select all of them like the below image.
> 3. Click "Reset All".
> 4. Again click "Reset All".
> 5. Click "Reset".
> Welldone..! No more 302 files to discard.

Ok I just noticed that my question was already answered in the question title.
To unstage files use
git reset HEAD /file/name
And to undo the changes to a file
git checkout -- /file/name
If you have a batch of files inside a folder you can undo the whole folder
git checkout -- /folder/name
Note that all these commands are already displayed when you git status
Here I created a dummy repo and listed all 3 possibilities
# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# modified: test
#
# Changes not staged for commit:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# modified: test2
#
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
# test3

Ok so in Windows sourcetree that is simple, on macOS I looked as well for a while..
Click Command + Shift + R while in source tree a hidden popup will be shown that will let you discard individual files OR ALL! Why is this hidden? We will never know.. but it works!
