You can revert all your files under your working directory and index by typing following this command

git reset --hard <SHAsum of your commit>

You can also type

git reset --hard HEAD #your current head point

or

git reset --hard HEAD^ #your previous head point

Hope it helps

git reset --hard 4a155e5  Will move the HEAD back to where you want to be   There may be other references ahead of that time that you would need to remove if you don t want anything to point to the history you just deleted
