Problem

You are busy developing and committed all code to the your central github repository. But then something happened and you need undo the commit on github.

  1. Reversing a commit
  2. Removing the commit (reset head)

In this article I´m showing you Option 2: Removing the commit, also called resetting the head.

Resetting the head to undo the last commit on github needs to be executed locally first…
