Remove a git commit which has not been pushed

Question

I did a git commit but I have not pushed it to the repository yet  So when I do git status  I get    Your branch is ahead of  master  by 1 commit   So if I want to roll back my top commit  can I just do   git reset --hard eb27bf26dd18c5a34e0e82b929e0d74cfcaab316   given that when I do git log I get    commit eb27bf26dd18c5a34e0e82b929e0d74cfcaab316 Date    Tue Sep 29 11 21 41 2009 -0700   commit db0c078d5286b837532ff5e276dcf91885df2296 Date    Tue Sep 22 10 31 37 2009 -0700

One way would be to delete the local branch and checkout that branch from the server if your local branch is ahead of remote by multiple commits and you need to uncommit all of them

I believe that one of those will fit your need  1 - Undo commit and keep all files staged  git reset --soft HEAD    2 - Undo commit and unstage all files  git reset HEAD    3 - Undo the commit and completely remove all changes  git reset --hard HEAD    here is were I found the answer

IF you have NOT pushed your changes to remote git reset HEAD 1  Check if the working copy is clean by git status  ELSE you have pushed your changes to remote git revert HEAD  This command will revert remove the local commits change and then you can push

Simply type in the console       git reset HEAD    This command discards all local commits ahead of the remote HEAD

I have experienced the same situation I did the below as this much easier  By passing commit-Id you can reach to the particular commit you want to go   git reset --hard  commit-id    As you want to remove your last commit so you need to pass the commit-Id where you need to move your pointer   git reset --hard db0c078d5286b837532ff5e276dcf91885df2296

Remove the last commit before push  git reset --soft HEAD 1  1 means the last commit  if you want to remove two last use 2  and so forth

I just had the same problem and ended up doing   git rebase -i HEAD N    N is the number of commits git will show you   That prompts your text editor and then you can remove the commit you want by deleting the line associated with it

There are two branches to this question  Rolling back a commit does not mean I want to lose all my local changes    1  To revert the latest commit and  discard changes in the committed file do   git reset --hard HEAD 1   2  To revert the latest commit but retain the local changes  on disk  do   git reset --soft HEAD 1  This  the later command  will take you to the state you would have been if you did git add   If you want to unstage the files after that  do   git reset  Now you can make more changes before adding and then committing again

Actually  when you use git reset  you should refer to the commit that you are resetting to  so you would want the db0c078 commit  probably   An easier version would be git reset --hard HEAD   to reset to the previous commit before the current head  that way you don t have to be copying around commit IDs   Beware when you do any git reset --hard  as you can lose any uncommitted changes you have  You might want to check git status to make sure your working copy is clean  or that you do want to blow away any changes that are there   In addition  instead of HEAD you can use origin master as reference  as suggested by  bdonlan in the comments  git reset --hard origin master
