How do I undo the recent local commits in Git?
To undo the recent local commits in Git, you can use the following steps:
git log
. This will display the commit history.git reset HEAD~n
, replacing "n" with the number of commits you want to undo. This will move the branch pointer to the specified commit, effectively removing the recent commits from the branch's history.git stash
before the reset command. This will temporarily store the changes so that you can reapply them later if needed.git reset --hard HEAD~n
instead of git reset HEAD~n
. This will discard the commits and all changes associated with them.git log
again and confirming that the commits no longer appear in the history.It's important to note that when you undo commits, they are removed from the branch's history. If the commits have been pushed to a remote repository, you will need to force push the changes using git push --force
to update the remote branch with the undone commits removed. However, be cautious when force pushing as it can affect other collaborators or branches that might be based on the previous commits.
