Deleting local commits in Git
We'll discuss how to delete the latest commit in your local repository to start.
We usually use git resetcommand to remove the latest changes to our repository. If you want to remove the latest commit, use the following command.
git reset --hard HEAD~1
The argument HEAD~1will delete a commit.
We can use N-ththe parameter as shown below.
git reset --hard HEAD~N
If you want to delete the last five commits in your repository, Nreplace with your value.
We can remove a specific commit using the following command.
git reset --hard <sha1-commit-hash>
Use your equivalent of the above in the command.
If you want to undo changes made by commits between commit history, use git revertthe undo command. This command will undo changes made by the selected commits.
git revert <sha1-commit-hash>
However, git revertsubmissions are not deleted. We use this in interactive forms git rebase.
git rebase -i <sha1-commit-hash>
After running the command above, you will see an editor with a list of surrounding commits. You can type _ at the beginning dropto remove the commit you want.
If you want to push your changes to the remote repository, run the following command.
git push --force-with-lease origin HEAD
The above command will not affect the changes made by other developers in the remote repository. git push origin HEAD --forceThis is a safer option for the command, which will overwrite all changes made by other developers in the remote repository.
If you want to revert your local changes to the current state of the remote repository, run the following command.
git reset --hard origin/<branch_name>
You can git reflogfind deleted commits using the command.
