Going a commit back (destructive or conservative)

Have need to how to move back a commit or few, since you or your colleague messed up pretty good?

• If you want the want changes, but not the commit, use this git reset --sort HEAD^.

• If you want to let go of both - commit & changes, use this git reset --hard HEAD^.

Moving back in time

Did one of your colleagues mess up big time, and left a nasty commit that is breaking everything?

You can use reflog & reset the commits.

• git reflog

Above line shows the history of your repo, just like git log does, but more useful.

• git reset --hard <SHA>

Using the above git reset line, will take you to that point in time in your git repo.
