revert back to a commit git code example

Example 1: how to revert a commit

git reset --soft HEAD@{1} # delete the last commit keeping the changes
git reset --hard HEAD@{1} # delete the last commit removing the changes

git push --force origin master # delete the last commit also on remote branch

Example 2: revert back to a commit git

git reset --hard 4a155e5
Will move the HEAD back to where you want to be

Example 3: how to revert back to previous commit in git permanently

# This will destroy any local modifications.
# Don't do it if you have uncommitted work you want to keep.
git reset --hard 0d1d7fc32

# Alternatively, if there's work to keep:
git stash
git reset --hard 0d1d7fc32
git stash pop
# This saves the modifications, then reapplies that patch after resetting.
# You could get merge conflicts, if you've modified things which were
# changed since the commit you reset to.

Example 4: git how to roll back to a commit

//git use a new commit to replace an old commit,commit moves foward not backward
git revert <commit hash>
//Git goes back one spot on the log,undone this commit and go backward one commit:
git reset HEAD~1
//Git looks for and rolls back to a certain file:
git checkout commit-hash-here -- file/location/and/name

Example 5: how to revert a git revert

git revert <commitHashOfTheRevert> # locate the hash the revert was done 
                             #this will invert the changes made in that commit
                             #and preserve the git history

Example 6: how to go to a previous commit state

# This will detach your HEAD, that is, leave you with no branch checked out:
git checkout 0d1d7fc32
