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
