git – How to undo the last commit? – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/05/31
Always handy to have at hand as the git-reset documentation is toooooo long:
Undo a commit and redo
$ git commit ... (1) $ git reset --soft HEAD~1 (2) << edit files as necessary >> (3) $ git add .... (4) $ git commit -c ORIG_HEAD (5)
- This is what you want to undo
- This is most often done when you remembered what you just committed is incomplete, or you misspelled your commit message1, or both. Leaves working tree as it was before “commit”.
- Make corrections to working tree files.
- Stage changes for commit.
- Commit the changes, reusing the old commit message.
resetcopied the old head to.git/ORIG_HEAD;commitwith-c ORIG_HEADwill open an editor, which initially contains the log message from the old commit and allows you to edit it. If you do not need to edit the message, you could use the-Coption instead.
