Git is a free and open-source version control system that allows developers to track changes made to code, collaborate on projects, and manage different versions of their code base. It's a distributed system, meaning that every developer working on a project has a local copy of the entire project history, making it easy to collaborate and work offline. Lets discuss, how to remove commit Git from local by command line.

How to Remove Commit Git 

To remove a commit in Git, you have a few options depending on your situation:

 

Remove the Most Recent Commit (Local Only)

If you want to remove the latest commit from your branch, you can use:

git reset --hard HEAD~1

The HEAD~1 in above command refers to the commit before the latest one. This command will remove the commit and any changes associated with it.

Remove the Most Recent Commit but Keep Changes

If you want to remove the commit but keep the changes in your working directory:

git reset --soft HEAD~1

This command resets the commit but leaves your changes staged (ready to commit again).

Remove a Specific Commit

If you want to remove a specific commit that’s not the most recent one, you can use an interactive rebase:

git rebase -i HEAD~n

First of all, replace `n` with the number of commits you want to review. After that an editor will open, and you can remove the commit by deleting its line. So Save and close the editor to apply the rebase.

Revert a Commit

If you’ve already pushed the commit to a shared repository and others may have pulled it, you should use:

git revert <commit-hash>

First of all, replace `<commit-hash>` with the actual commit hash. This creates a new commit that undoes the changes from the specified commit, preserving history.

Force Push After Removing a Commit

If you’ve removed a commit using `reset` and want to force update the remote branch, you can use:

git push origin <branch-name> --force

Note: Be careful with `--force` as it can overwrite changes on the remote branch.

Notes

• when rewriting history with reset or rebase if you've already pushed your commits to a shared repository.
• The git revert is the safest way to undo a commit when working with others.
