1. No for-loop, but xargs. 2. Append "--" in git-reset HEAD command to deal with filenames contained leading hyphen/minus sign (-). 3. Add "--porcelain" option in git-status command for easy-to-parse format when scripting. 4. Add "--no-run-if-empty" option in xargs command to prevent you run it twice and accidentally reset all staged changes. 5. Use zero byte (NUL character) as line terminator instead of newline (\n) to make it more robust to deal with filename with whitespaces. pipe#1: git-status. pipe#2: Use "grep" to filter out "non-added" files. pipe#3: use "sed" to Trim out the leading three characters, reserve the filename. pipe#4: xargs + git-reset... p.s. The "HEAD" in git-reset can be omitted . And, maybe, the third part of this shell pipe (sed) has potential to be enhanced.
0git status --porcelain -z | grep -zZ '^A[ MD] ' | sed -z 's/^...//' | xargs -0 --no-run-if-empty git reset HEAD --

git reset HEAD -- $(git status | grep new | awk '{print $3}'). Next, you can combine grep and awk:git reset HEAD -- $(git status | awk '/new/{print $3}'). Finally, I'd suggest changing the search to "new file:" to avoid any problems with existing filenames containing "new".git reset HEAD -- $(git status | awk '/new file:/{print $3}'). Neither your command, nor mine, handle whitespace in filenames, but that's not trivial to fix. Another day, perhaps.git status | fgrep 'new file:' | awk '{ print $3}' | xargs git reset HEAD --git status|sed 's/..new file://;t;d'git status|sed 's/^..new file://;t;d'
