This means that you will not get the bread crumbs representing what path you took. If you really want to remove a commit, the method to do that is to remove it locally, and then force push to Github.A git choose-your-own-adventure!ⓡ Warning! Javascript has been disabled. Then, copy the SHA1 hash and revert the commit: git revert 62ff517cc7c358eaf0bffdebbbe1b38dea92ba0f Force Reset (Unsafe) You can push the revert commit to Github, and have your coworkers run git pull to get the updates.įirst, run git log to get a list of commits: This is safe because it doesn’t change the history, only adds new history on top of it. If you added a line, it’s removed, and if you deleted a file, it’s added back. Reverting will generate an “opposite commit,” which will basically undo all the changes from a specific commit. If you want to undo the changes from a commit you already pushed to Github, the safe way to do that is with a revert. If you just want to add a new file/change to the most recent commit, Git has a flag built in to do exactly that: git commit -amend -no-edit Reverting (Github Safe)
If you haven’t pushed to Github yet, you can revert the most recent commit with a soft reset, which doesn’t effect your local files at all, but makes it so that you never committed the changes to Git in the first place. This is actually commonplace and useful if you want to merge multiple commits into one, called “squashing.” If you wanted to completely discard the changes, you can do that as well (with a -hard reset). If you just made a mistake when committing files, you can do a soft reset and make a new commit. Github doesn’t care about the state of your repo until you push. This is all kept in sync with the remote, but only when running push/pull.
Git tracks your local directory, stages changes internally, and keeps a Git history.
If you’re working locally, and you haven’t pushed your changes to Github yet, you can safely reset or modify commits that aren’t on the remote. It’ll cause some issues for your coworkers, but even in this case it’s possible with a force push. There are still a few reasons to do this though-maybe you accidentally committed private data to a public repo, which would still be visible in the history no matter what you do.
