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!
