git add . : add all

Reference: Removing Deleted Files from your Git Working Directory

revert change:
git reset --hard : reset HEAD, index and working tree

git reset [--<mode>] [<commit>]

This form resets the current branch head to <commit> and possibly updates the index (resetting it to the tree of <commit>) and the working tree depending on <mode>, which must be one of the following:

   -q, --quiet           be quiet, only report errors

   --mixed               reset HEAD and index

   --soft                reset only HEAD

   --hard                reset HEAD, index and working tree

   --merge               reset HEAD, index and working tree

   --keep                reset HEAD but keep local changes

   -p, --patch           select hunks interactively

commit changed:
before push the added change to git, you should commit it
git commit -m [message]


branch
You may want to keep current snapshot and also keep going, branch it

git branch [new_branch_name] : create local branch

git branch [new_branch_name] [from_branch_name] : create branch [new_branch_name] from branch [from_branch_name]

git branch -d [branch_name] : delete branch

git checkout [branch_name] : switch to branch

git branch : show all branchs and currently working branch

after a branch created and switched to it,

you can add/delete/modify files and add - commit - push as usual

for example,

git checkout [branch_name]
git touch test
git add test
git commit -m 'test branch'
git push origin [branch_name]


push to Github
git push origin master
