# Step 1: Find the commit hash of the commit you want to delete
git log

# Step 2: Revert the target commit and create a new commit
git revert <commit_hash>

# Step 3: Delete the original commit (optional)
git branch temp        # Create a temporary branch to keep original commit
git rebase -i <commit_hash>~1        # Starts interactive rebase
# In the interactive editor that appears, delete the line for the original commit
# Save and exit the editor
# Note: Be cautious when modifying the commit history

# Step 4: Push the changes to remote repository
git push origin <branch_name> --force-with-lease

git delete a commit

Comment

# First, make sure you are on the branch where the commit is located
git checkout your_branch_name

# Then, start an interactive rebase to modify the commit history
git rebase -i HEAD~2

# An editor will open with a list of the last two commits.
# Change "pick" to "drop" for the commit you want to delete.
# Save and close the editor.

# Git will now remove the unwanted commit(s) from the branch.
# If there are no conflicts, the process will complete automatically.

# Finally, if you have already pushed the branch to a remote repository,
# you may need to force push the modified branch to update it.
git push --force origin your_branch_name
