back to previous commit git code example

Example 1: how to revert back to previous commit in git

# This will destroy any local modifications.
# Don't do it if you have uncommitted work you want to keep.
git reset --hard 0d1d7fc32

# Alternatively, if there's work to keep:
git stash
git reset --hard 0d1d7fc32
git stash pop
# This saves the modifications, then reapplies that patch after resetting.
# You could get merge conflicts, if you've modified things which were
# changed since the commit you reset to.

Example 2: git roll back to specific commit

//Git Rollback to a specific commit via Mac terminal

//Navigate to project and open git log

git checkout abc1234 . 

//(Type q to quit the git log)

//Stage All changes, commit with comment, and push to remote
git add -A
git commit -m "Revert commit: abc1234"
git push
