Reset Your Code to a Specific Commit

Need to replace your local code with a specific commit? Here's how to do it safely! ⚡

⚠️ Important Warning

This operation will permanently discard all uncommitted changes!

  • All uncommitted changes will be lost
  • Your current branch will be reset to the specified commit
  • Any commits after the target commit will be removed from your branch

💾 Step 1: Backup Your Work (Optional but Recommended)

Before resetting, you can save your current work:

git
stash
# Or create a backup branch:
git
branch backup-before-reset

🚀 Step 2: Reset to the Commit

Replace COMMIT_HASH with your actual commit hash:

git
reset --hard
COMMIT_HASH

Example: git reset --hard 65e8d6b

Step 3: Verify the Reset

Check that you're at the correct commit:

git
log --oneline -5
# Or check current status:
git
status

🔍 Alternative: Check Commit Details First

Want to see what's in the commit before resetting?

git
show
COMMIT_HASH
--stat
# Shows files changed in the commit

💡 Pro Tip: Use git reflog to recover lost commits if needed!
