1. To remove a commit done locally:
You made a commit and then realized you want to remove it. But, you still want to keep your changes....
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
You could slightly shorten the first command with
This is especially handy when using git in powershell cli on windows, where you'd otherwise have to put 'HEAD@{1}' inside quotes.
Let's go even shorter 🤤
Yes you are right. I will update the article. Thanks.
Great post.
You could also use
git reset --hard HEAD~1to remove the last commit, be aware that it will also remove all of your uncommitted changes.Hey It's Nice. It's very useful for me. 😁
say I push some api secrets to the repo. Would the second method overwrite the commit or will,say my .env file still be accessible?
When I started out, I left my .env files out of .gitignore for the majority of a project and had to resort to starting a fresh repo. Was that necessary if the commits were already so far back in the history?
As I understand you can use interactive rebase and then push force. I used this way and I could not find later any mention of my secret word, I hope somebody corrects me if I'm wrong
PS Interactive rebase is a big topic itself, but to delete commit it's enough to write "d" or "drop" in commit line which you want to delete
Oh ok. At the time I ended up deleting the repo and copy pasting my files in with an updated .gitignore. Good to know there’s a better alternative
Nice. Thanks for the tip! Very useful!
I recently started using the Github desktop app and found that it has an undo button.
Thanks for this. I'm planning on having git command collection so I don't have to do a Google search each time I need to do something sinister with git. This one is handy.
