I tried to make a PR for the GUI wallet and now have 5000 files from the "monero" submodule in it. How to best get those files out of my commit, so the PR will work? Ho do I have to amend it?

Alright, it's only somewhat over 1500 files, but that's not really better ...

git you git add all?

did*

Yes, as usual I have to confess. Always worked so far

git reset

That simple?

That very un-git-like

:D

well not sure if it works

I try, thanks

git reset HEAD^, then git add again what you want.

Resetting head finally worked, thanks. Not even de-init of the submodule and commit with --amend had the desired effect.
