Run the following command to revert the last commit.


$ git reset --soft HEAD~


Note: You can specify multiple commits by placing a number at the end.

For instance, if we want to undo the last two commits,
we can run the following command.


$ git reset --soft HEAD~2

how to undo an already pushed commit

Comment

Note: the steps below does not remove the previous commit.
It simply reverts it to what it was.

Step one is to ensure that you are on a clean working directory.
You shouldn't have any open new changes.

Then you'll need to find the hash for the specific commit you are trying to undo.
You can find them on your online Repo (like GitHub, for instance).

Take this hash and then head back over to your terminal.
You can now revert this commit by executing the following command.

for example if the hash is f193a70


$ git revert f193a70 --no-edit


Note: The --no-edit is optional. It won't prompt you to edit
the commit message that way

Once executed, you'll note that it will do the opposite of the commit locally.

The command will return the files to what they used to be before.

Now all that's left is to push the reverted code.


$ git push


When you view your changes, you'll see the old commit is still there,
but a new revert commit replaces the changes.
