Deleting commit in GIT

Already pushed?

When the commit you want to delete is already pushed, better way is doing git revert (it will create "anti-commit" which annihilates the bad one).

Second option is to create the new branch.

Avoid to do git rebase (it can break the work of your collegues if they already pulled that poisoned commit) and also git reset (your collegues will introduce the same changes from that commit in their merge if they already pulled that commit).

Cleaner way: rebase

Cleaner way - just delete lines with unwanted commits with interactive rebase.

Beware to do this when you already pushed that comit - see above.

git rebase -i 

Another way: reset

It works, but:

• it will also delete all commits after that yours "poisoned commit"
• it will also delete your not-commited changes in your working directory

Beware to do this when you already pushed that comit - see above.

git reset --hard
