How to unstage when there are no commits yet and "git restore –staged" returns an error "could not resolve HEAD"

I have created a Git repository locally by using the command git init.

Then mistakenly added all files for staging by entering git add .
But I want to unstage some files which I don’t want to commit.

But when I enter git restore --staged <file/folder name>, it states the following:

fatal: could not resolve HEAD

I figured out this occurred due to my branch main having no commits yet. So, is it possible to exclude some files from staging before I can commit? If so, how can I achieve it?

>Solution :

Try git reset to remove all files from stage or git reset /path/to/file
