git reset --soft HEAD^ is not undoing my commit

Question

I'm trying to undo a commit and duplicate the commit, but when I use

git reset --soft HEAD^

(as it was explained to me) it appears this question: More? When it was being explained to me, the More? statement wasn't mentioned. What does this means? Do I have to add something else to undo my commit?

Are you using Windows? Maybe this answer can help https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14203952/git-reset-asks-more — lleon, Jan 08 '18 at 14:49

Try below mentioned:

git reset --soft HEAD~3

The last three commits (HEAD, HEAD^, and HEAD~2) were bad and you do not want to ever see them again. Do not do this if you have already given these commits to somebody else.
