How to use Git reset In GIT

Step 1: First check all your commits

#git log

Output: commits are just examples or sample commits

commit 2: second commit  
commit 1:  First commit  

Perception drawn are as follows:

• commit 2 is the commit you want to undo, the current head is here
• commit1 is the first commit where you want to go after undo

Step 2: To restore everything or undo all the changes we have to reset the commit.

#git reset --soft HEAD^      

#git reset --hard HEAD^  

Note: 

• soft is used if you want to keep your changes
• hard is used if you don’t want to keep your changes

Step 3: To check your commit is reset or not

#git log

Output:

commit 1: First commit   
//undo the second commit, now head is at first or previous commit

 One can clearly see last commit (i.e. second commit) is removed.
