Reversing Pushed Changes

Sometimes you or somebody else might have pushed changes accidentally to the remove repository. To get rid of them, first get a log or history of the push commits:

$ git log

Then, use git reset to push back to a particular come it, identified by its SHA1 sequence from the log. For example:

$ git reset --hard 6bb3dc30bc0c8fc36421474cf9376d658ee643aa

Sometimes just the first few letters and numbers of the sequence, such as 6bb3dc would do.

After you’ve done the reset, you need to push it back to the server. However, if you just pushed your branch, you will get an error message:

$ git push [email protected]:opentaps/opentaps.git master
To [email protected]:opentaps/opentaps.git
 ! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:opentaps/opentaps.git'
To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected
Merge the remote changes before pushing again.  See the 'Note about
fast-forwards' section of 'git push --help' for details.

To really push it, you would need to add a + before your branch name:

$ git push [email protected]:opentaps/opentaps.git +master
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
=> Syncing Gitorious... [OK]
To [email protected]:opentaps/opentaps.git
 + 6398f5f...6bb3dc3 master -> master (forced update)
