Sourcetree - undo unpushed commits

Question

I am using Sourcetree for Windows for a git-repository and would like to undo an unpushed commit   Is that possible  If I do  revert commit   it creates a second commit which reverts the first commit  but I don t want the first commit to appear at all in my source control   I could also delete my local repository and pull it again without my local commit  but maybe there s another way

If you select the log entry to which you want to revert to then you can click on "Reset to this commit". Only use this option if you didn't push the reverse commit changes. If you're worried about losing the changes then you can use the soft mode which will leave a set of uncommitted changes (what you just changed). Using the mixed resets the working copy but keeps those changes, and a hard will just get rid of the changes entirely. Here's some screenshots:

If you want to delete a commit you can do it as part of an interactive rebase  But do it with caution  so you don t end up messing up your repo  In Sourcetree   Right click a commit that s older than the one you want to delete  and choose  quot Rebase children of xxxx interactively    quot   The one you click will be your  quot base quot  and you can make changes to every commit made after that one     In the new window  select the commit you want gone  and press the  quot Delete quot -button at the bottom  or right click the commit and click  quot Delete commit quot   List item Click  quot OK quot   or  quot Cancel quot  if you want to abort    Check out this Atlassian blog post for more on interactive rebasing in Sourcetree
