How to reset staged and unstaged changes with nodegit

Question

I'm trying to execute git reset --hard via nodegit after setting the HEAD to a detached state by doing the following:

var oid = 'commit sha';
repo.setHeadDetached(oid);
Reset.reset(repo, oid, Reset.TYPE.HARD);

but without any success.

• Am I doing something wrong?
• Am I missing a step?

From the documentation:

• http://www.nodegit.org/api/repository/#setHeadDetached

Look here (searched the project for such a method):
https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=detach

• https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit/issues/701
  This ticket is for: Repository.setHeadDetached fails with an internal assertion
