If I understand the question correctly, you've done a bunch of work, haven't committed it, and want to git rid of that work and go back to your last commit. Is that correct? If so, I think you need a combination of two commands:

git reset --hard   # reverts tracked files to commit you were working from
git clean -f       # removes untracked files that haven't been added to git yet

Hope that helps.

git reset --hard HEAD^1

This will wipe off your working directory files.
