You can also pull the latest commit and just undo until the commit you desire:

git pull origin master
git reset --hard HEAD~1

Replace master with your desired branch.

Use git log to see to which commit you would like to revert:

git log

Personally, this has worked for me better.

Basically, what this does is pulls the latest commit, and you manually revert commits one by one. Use git log in order to see commit history.

Good points: Works as advertised. You don't have to use commit hash or pull unneeded branches.

Bad points: You need to revert commits on by one.

WARNING: Commit/stash all your local changes, because with --hard you are going to lose them. Use at your own risk!

This works for me  git pull origin  lt sha gt   e g   dbn src   git fetch  dbn src   git status On branch current feature Your branch and  origin master  have diverged  and have 2 and 7 different commits each  respectively       dbn src   git log -3 --pretty oneline origin master f4d10ad2a5eda447bea53fed0b421106dbecea66 CASE-ID1  some descriptive msg 28eb00a42e682e32bdc92e5753a4a9c315f62b42 CASE-ID2  I m so good at writing commit titles ff39e46b18a66b21bc1eed81a0974e5c7de6a3e5 CASE-ID2  woooooo  dbn src   git pull origin 28eb00a42e682e32bdc92e5753a4a9c315f62b42  dbn src   git status On branch current feature Your branch and  origin master  have diverged  and have 2 and 1 different commits each  respectively       This pulls 28eb00  ff39e4  and everything before  but doesn t pull f4d10ad  It allows the use of pull --rebase  and honors pull settings in your gitconfig  This works because you re basically treating 28eb00 as a branch  For the version of git that I m using  this method requires a full commit hash - no abbreviations or aliases are allowed  You could do something like   dbn src   git pull origin  git rev-parse origin master

git pull is nothing but git fetch followed by git merge  So what you can do is  git fetch remote example branch  git merge  lt commit hash gt

First  fetch the latest commits from the remote repo  This will not affect your local branch   git fetch origin   Then checkout the remote tracking branch and do a git log to see the commits  git checkout origin master git log   Grab the commit hash of the commit you want to merge up to  or just the first  5 chars of it  and merge that commit into master  git checkout master git merge  lt commit hash gt
