git rever code 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: 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
