reverting a commit 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 git commit
git revert <the_commit_hash>
Example 3: revert commit git
$ git revert HEAD
Example 4: 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 5: 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
Example 6: revert commit git
