Rewinds the current branch by a given number of commits.
|
|
|
|
- Use `git reset HEAD~<n>` to rewind the current branch `<n>` commits.
|
|
- This command will uncommit and unstage changes, but leave them in the working directory.
|
|
- You can use the `--hard` flag to uncommit, unstage and delete changes instead.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git reset [--hard] HEAD~<n>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git reset HEAD~5
|
|
# Rewinds back 5 commits but keeps changes in the working directory
|
|
|
|
git reset --hard HEAD~3
|
|
# Rewinds back 3 commits and deletes changes
|
|
```
