Git: Reset Head to a Commit

When you want to go back to a specific commit in both local and remote branches, you can use git log to list recent commits, and use git reset --hard <commit sha256> to reset the head to the commit you want to go back, and use git push -f to push your changes to the remote forcely.

For example:

1. List recent commits

   $ git log
   commit 61176897cc44c898aa97c05b08b08f048688a2ce (HEAD -> master)
   Author: 米国梁 <nothingmi@muchencute.com>
   Date:   Wed Jan 22 21:23:21 2020 +0800
   
       update post
   
   commit ce0381e46fd85b3180e6cc2cf86989258451adf7
   Author: 米国梁 <nothingmi@muchencute.com>

2. Reset the head

   $ git reset --hard ce0381e46fd85b3180e6cc2cf86989258451adf7
   HEAD is now at ce0381e update post
   

3. Push to the remote

   git push -f
   

Conclusion

To reset the head hardly is a danger operation, it will make commits after the commit you want to rollback to detached from the branch, so you should be careful to do this.
