To remove the changes you made to a repository, you can use the "git reset" command.

Here are the steps you can follow:

Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the local repository directory on your computer.

Run the following command to see the changes you have made:

git status
If there are any files listed under "Changes not staged for commit", add them to the staging area using the following command:

git add .
Run the following command to undo the changes you made to the files:

git reset HEAD
This will remove the changes you made from the staging area.

If you want to completely remove the changes you made to the files, run the following command:
git checkout .

This will revert the files to the state they were in when you last committed them.

Finally, run the following command to confirm that the changes have been removed:
git status
This should show that there are no changes to be committed.

Note: Be careful when using "git reset" and "git checkout" as they can remove changes permanently. If you're not sure what you're doing, it's a good idea to create a backup copy of your repository before making any changes.
