I accidentally added all the files to the staging area of git with the "git add." , how to remove a file from staging area so it is not commited?

As mentioned in the message of git status (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage), the command is:
git reset HEAD <file>...
If you want to remove a file:
git reset HEAD caminho/para/o/arquivo
If you want to clean up the whole staging, go to the repository root directory and use the command:
git reset HEAD *

One way to avoid accidents like this in the future is to add the files incrementally with the command
git add -p(patch mode). This allows you to add each change individually. (User suggestion @mollusk: Thank you! I preferred to add as a comment rather than include in the reply.)– J. Bruni
About how to avoid accidents, I think
git add -uis closer to the desired result. Does not add new files and does not ask for confirmation of each modified snippet.– Marcos Banik
