How to delete remote commits in git?

Assume you have pushed commits in order A1 => B2 => C3 in remote repository.

Now you want to delete commits C3 and B2.

The simple solution is as follows using git reset

 git reset --hard <A1-commit-id>
 git push -f origin <branch-name>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

However, you should avoid doing this if anyone else is working with your remote repository and has pulled your changes C3 and B2.

That's where git revert comes in

git revert --no-commit C3
git revert --no-commit B2
git commit -m "commit message for your reverts"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
