How can I uncommit my last commit in git?

Is it

git reset --hard HEAD or

git reset --hard HEAD^ ?

#2

To undo your last commit in Git, you can use the command:

git reset --hard HEAD^

This will remove your last commit and reset the changes to the state before the commit. Use with caution, as it will discard all changes in the last commit.

#3

To undo your last commit in Git, you have two options:

  1. Keep modified changes in your working tree: Use git reset --soft HEAD^. This will undo the last commit but keep your changes staged.

  2. Discard all changes in the last commit: Use git reset --hard HEAD^. This will remove your last commit and discard all changes in it. Use this option carefully, as it cannot be undone.

#4

To revert a commit without losing your work, use the --soft flag with git reset:

git reset --soft HEAD^

Be cautious, as git reset --hard will remove both your last commit and any local modifications that haven’t been committed yet.

To use git reset --hard on Windows, you’ll need to quote the HEAD^:

git reset --hard "HEAD^"
