# Uncommitting Changes
Sometimes you want to undo a commit or pull a file out of one — maybe to re-split changes differently. Here's the starting point:
```bash
$ git loom status -f
```
```
│╭─ fa [feature-auth]
│● pkz 92b8427 add password validation
│┊ pkz:0 M src/auth.rs
│● mqt bae0b72 add login form
│┊ mqt:0 A src/auth.rs
│┊ mqt:1 A templates/login.html
├╯
│
● a1b2c3d (upstream) [origin/main] Latest upstream commit
```
## Uncommitting a Commit
You decide `pkz` ("add password validation") was premature — you want its changes back in the working tree. Fold it into `zz` (the working directory):
```bash
$ git loom fold pkz zz
```
The commit is removed from history and its changes appear as unstaged modifications:
```
╭─ zz [local changes]
│ M src/auth.rs
│
│╭─ fa [feature-auth]
│● mqt bae0b72 add login form
│┊ mqt:0 A src/auth.rs
│┊ mqt:1 A templates/login.html
├╯
│
● a1b2c3d (upstream) [origin/main] Latest upstream commit
```
## Uncommitting a File
Instead of removing the whole commit, you just want to extract `templates/login.html` (index `mqt:1`) from `mqt`:
```bash
$ git loom fold mqt:1 zz
```
The file is removed from the commit and appears as an untracked file in the working directory, leaving the rest of `mqt` intact:
```
╭─ zz [local changes]
│ ⁕ templates/login.html
│
│╭─ fa [feature-auth]
│● pkz 2a660a7 add password validation
│┊ pkz:0 M src/auth.rs
│● mqt 4afdd0c add login form
│┊ mqt:0 A src/auth.rs
├╯
│
● a1b2c3d (upstream) [origin/main] Latest upstream commit
```
