linkReverting Your Commits

Whoops we made a mistake!

Let's say for example that you committed a file that contains an API key. Or perhaps you committed the wrong files all together

Maybe you forgot to set up your .gitignore and a bunch of cruddy files got committed and pushed and you project is a mess now (looking at you npm) 😆

linkGit has our back. Given the way it saves snapshots. We can easily revert to a previous commit like so

1link$# Reset the local copy to a previous commit

2link$git reset --hard <ID#Of_Commit>

3link$

4link$# Force push the local copy to the remote repository

5link$git push --force

linkWe also have the following options as well..

linkReturn to the last committed state

1link$git checkout -F | git reset --hard (you cannot undo a hard reset)

linkRevert the last commit

1link$git revert HEAD (Creates a new commit)

linkRevert specific commit

1link$git revert $id (Creates a new commit)

linkFix the last commit

1link$git commit -a --amend (after editing the broken files)

linkCheckout the ID version of a file

1link$git checkout <ID><file>

2link$
