how to git reset to previous commit code example
Example 1: how to revert back to previous commit in git
# 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 2: github restore previous commit
# syntax

git checkout 0d1d7fc32
# to go back to original branch, git checkout master
