revert git branch to previous 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: 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 3: git roll back to specific commit

//Git Rollback to a specific commit via Mac terminal

//Navigate to project and open git log
cd projectname
git log --oneline

//Locate and checkout the desired commit ID
git checkout abc1234 . 

//(Type q to quit the git log)

//Stage All changes, commit with comment, and push to remote
git add -A
git commit -m "Revert commit: abc1234"
git push

Example 4: get back some commits git

git revert {commit_id}'

Example 5: git command change to previous comit

git revert --no-commit 0766c053..HEAD
git commit


If you really do want to have individual commits 
(instead of reverting everything with one big commit), 
then you can pass --no-edit instead of --no-commit, 
so that you don't have to edit a commit 
message for each reversion. – user456814

Example 6: revert to commit git

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