[git] Git: Remove committed file after push

Is there a possibility to revert a committed file in Git? I've pushed a commit to GitHub and then I realized that there's a file which I didn't want to be pushed (I haven't finished the changes).

Reset the file in a correct state, commit, and push again.

If you're sure nobody else has fetched your changes yet, you can use --amend when committing, to modify your previous commit (i.e. rewrite history), and then push. I think you'll have to use the -f option when pushing, to force the push, though.

You can revert only one file to a specified revision.

First you can check on which commits the file was changed.

git log path/to/file.txt

Then you can checkout the file with the revision number.

git checkout 3cdc61015724f9965575ba954c8cd4232c8b42e4 /path/to/file.txt

After that you can commit and push it again.

1. Get the hash code of last commit.

   • git log
2. Revert the commit
   • git revert <hash_code_from_git_log>
3. Push the changes
   • git push

check out in the GHR. you might get what ever you need, hope you this is useful

If you want to remove the file from the remote repo, first remove it from your project with --cache option and then push it:

git rm --cache /path/to/file
git commit -am "Remove file"
git push

(This works even if the file was added to the remote repo some commits ago) Remember to add to .gitignore the file extensions that you don't want to push.
