I accidentally committed all files with the command
git commit -m "Message" .
Where I wanted to actually run
git commit -m "Message" ./file
I haven't yet done a git push. How can I undo the last commit so all of these files don't get pushed?

Use
git reset --soft HEAD^
For information, the git-reset command resets the current branch to the specified commit (HEAD^, here).
As for the --soft option, it does not touch the index file nor the working tree at all, but requires them to be in a good order. This leaves all your changed files "Changes to be committed".
For more information, see the git-reset man page.
