Reverting back from a wrong commit

Once you made a wrong commit to your project, generally you would wanna perform one among these two things:

• Revert the full commit

• Delete the last commit or last to last commit, …

Revert the full commit

$ git revert 76eb9225c593b576d683b2453b05ad3b45c82ae

Where 76eb9225c593b576d683b2453b05ad3b45c82ae is the commit_id.

Delete the last commit

Let’s say we have a remote origin with branch master that currently points to commit 76eb9225c593b576d683b2453b05ad3b45c82ae. We want to remove the top commit i.e. we want to force the master branch of the origin remote repository to the parent of 76eb9225c593b576d683b2453b05ad3b45c82ae:

$ git push origin +76eb9225c593b576d683b2453b05ad3b45c82ae^:master

git interprets x^ as the parent of x and + as a forced non-fastforward push.

Thank you 👏
