Does git reset --keep HEAD do nothing?

So, I have read that the git reset --keep works like --hard but remains unstaged changes. So, if I just git reset --hard, I will get into the original HEAD state with clear index. So, there is a question: Does the git reset --keep HEAD do nothing? Or what is the difference? If I do the git reset --keep HEAD~1, will it work like there is no HEAD~1 commit but I have made the changes on files?

Does this answer your question?

--keep

Resets index entries and updates files in the working tree that are different between <commit> and HEAD. If a file that is different between <commit> and HEAD has local changes, reset is aborted.

The --hard option forcibly overwrites local changes, and --keep ... keeps them ... by refusing to do anything that would overwrite a local change.
