Humans make mistakes and sometimes need to roll back to previous versions of content.\nLuckily, there are mechanisms in Git that allow programmers to\nroll back these commits\nto a known-good version. However, there are potential code implications that can arise when teams execute these commands.\nWhat is\ngit reset?\nEvery time an IT admin commits a Git deployment, that latest commit becomes the head, or tip, of the code tree -- in other words, the current version. The Git commit process provides a point-in-time snapshot (PIT snapshot) of the version-controlled files at the time of every change.\nAn administrator can roll back the code repository to a previous commit -- that point-in-time copy -- in several ways, depending on the end goal. One approach is the\ngit reset\ncommand.\nBefore using this command, teams must understand what\ngit reset\ndoes. Outcomes can vary between command uses and with which switches. Use the command with caution. There are\ntwo modes for git reset\n:\nGit reset soft.\nThis mode resets the code tree's head to the designated former commit instance. All the files between that PIT snapshot and now are set to staged -- ready to commit but not yet committed. This is the default mode.\nGit reset hard.\nUse this mode with extreme caution because the changes can't be reverted. This command will\nreset everything\n, move the head back to the indicated commit version and\nremove all changes added to the code tree\nafter that specific version number. In effect, the\ngit reset\ncommand instantiates a \"hard deletion\" of all changes from now -- or point in time of code reversion -- to the designated former code commit. It resets the code tree to the version in question and deletes\nunstaged files\n.\nGit reset\nexample\nFirst, decide how far back to go into the\nversion history\n. To view the previous commits, use the\ngit log --oneline\ncommand. This command\nprovides the commit details\n.\nAnthony Howell\nFigure 1. The code displays the git log output of previous commits after running the git log –-oneline command.\nOnce the team chooses a code version they want to revert their tree to, use the commit ID to execute the command. In the following example, a soft reset is used since\n--\nhard\nis not specified. The code 3a96a8e represents the commit ID, gained from the git log output in Figure 1.\nAnthony Howell\nFigure 2. The code displays the commit ID 3a96a8e that will execute the revert.\nAlternatively, there is a shorthand method to roll back the commit without knowing the necessary commit ID. Admins can reset code versions relative to where the current head is using the code in Figure 3.\nIn the example,\n~1\nrefers to the number of commits backward that the code tree will revert to. The image below illustrates the results of adding several commits and then resetting back one version.\nAnthony Howell\nFigure 3. The code displays the output after running git reset head~1.\nGit revert\nexample\nAdmins can also use\ngit revert\n.\nThis command\nundoes the effects of a bad or incorrect commit by creating a commit that does the opposite of the commit in question. By reverting the commit in this manner, the history stays intact.\nTeams can use\ngit log --oneline\nagain to see the current commit IDs.\nAnthony Howell\nFigure 4. The code displays the current commit IDs after running git log –oneline.\nThen they can revert to a specific commit with similar syntax as the reset command. However, the difference here is that the command specifies the commit ID that needs to be undone rather than the commit ID that the team wants to reset to.\nAnthony Howell\nFigure 5. The code displays the git history of the previous commit after running git revert 7b9a698.\nIn Figure 5 there's an additional parameter:\n--no-edit\n. This prevents Git from opening the default editor to specify a custom commit message.\nFigure 6 displays how the git history will look.\nAnthony Howell\nFigure 6. The code displays the git history after reverting to the previous commit.\nIn this scenario, all changes made in the second commit were reverted with an additional commit that does the opposite.\nGit reset\nvs.\ngit revert\nIn choosing between\ngit reset\nand\ngit revert\n, it's important to understand exactly what each one does.\nGit reset\nwill delete commits from the history, so if admins are working locally and haven't pushed any commits, this will likely be the better option.\nBut if the team has pushed the commits, consider\ngit revert\ninstead. That way, anyone who has pulled the bad commit can also\npull the revert commits\nas well.\nBefore making any changes,\ntest these actions in a local copy of a repository\n. That way, if admins make any mistakes,\nthey can fall back\nto executing a\ngit pull\n.\nEditor's Note: This article was originally written by Stuart Burns in 2021.

Humans make mistakes and sometimes need to roll back to previous versions of content.\n\nLuckily, there are mechanisms in Git that allow programmers to [roll back these commits](https:\/\/www.theserverside.com\/blog\/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions\/amend-git-commit-message-remove-undo-change-update-github-gitlab) to a known-good version. However, there are potential code implications that can arise when teams execute these commands.\n\n## What is git reset?\nEvery time an IT admin commits a Git deployment, that latest commit becomes the head, or tip, of the code tree -- in other words, the current version. The Git commit process provides a point-in-time snapshot (PIT snapshot) of the version-controlled files at the time of every change.\n\nAn administrator can roll back the code repository to a previous commit -- that point-in-time copy -- in several ways, depending on the end goal. One approach is the git reset command.\n\nBefore using this command, teams must understand what git reset does. Outcomes can vary between command uses and with which switches. Use the command with caution. There are [two modes for git reset](https:\/\/www.theserverside.com\/blog\/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions\/Git-reset-hard-vs-soft-Whats-the-difference):\n\n- Git reset soft. This mode resets the code tree's head to the designated former commit instance. All the files between that PIT snapshot and now are set to staged -- ready to commit but not yet committed. This is the default mode.\n- Git reset hard. Use this mode with extreme caution because the changes can't be reverted. This command will [reset everything](https:\/\/www.theserverside.com\/video\/How-to-use-the-git-reset-hard-command-to-change-a-commit-history), move the head back to the indicated commit version and [remove all changes added to the code tree](https:\/\/www.theserverside.com\/blog\/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions\/remove-revert-discard-local-uncommitted-changes-Git-how-to) after that specific version number. In effect, the git reset command instantiates a \"hard deletion\" of all changes from now -- or point in time of code reversion -- to the designated former code commit. It resets the code tree to the version in question and deletes [unstaged files](https:\/\/www.theserverside.com\/blog\/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions\/git-unstage-file-all-index-commit-folder-add-delete).\n\n## Git reset example\nFirst, decide how far back to go into the [version history](https:\/\/www.theserverside.com\/video\/Understand-the-Git-working-tree-status-command-for-easy-DVCS). To view the previous commits, use the git log --oneline command. This command [provides the commit details](https:\/\/www.theserverside.com\/blog\/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions\/How-to-git-stash-untracked-files).\n\n![Git log oneline command](https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/howell-1-f_mobile.jpg)\n\nAnthony Howell\n\nFigure 1. The code displays the git log output of previous commits after running the git log –-oneline command.\n\nOnce the team chooses a code version they want to revert their tree to, use the commit ID to execute the command. In the following example, a soft reset is used since \\--hard is not specified.

The code displays the commit ID 3a96a8e that will execute the revert.\n\nAlternatively, there is a shorthand method to roll back the commit without knowing the necessary commit ID. Admins can reset code versions relative to where the current head is using the code in Figure 3.\n\nIn the example, ~1 refers to the number of commits backward that the code tree will revert to.

[This command](https:\/\/www.theserverside.com\/tutorial\/How-to-git-revert-a-commit-A-simple-undo-changes-example) undoes the effects of a bad or incorrect commit by creating a commit that does the opposite of the commit in question.

The code displays the current commit IDs after running git log –oneline.\n\nThen they can revert to a specific commit with similar syntax as the reset command. However, the difference here is that the command specifies the commit ID that needs to be undone rather than the commit ID that the team wants to reset to.\n\n![Git revert 7b9a698 command](https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/howell-5-f_mobile.jpg)\n\nAnthony Howell\n\nFigure 5.

Git reset will delete commits from the history, so if admins are working locally and haven't pushed any commits, this will likely be the better option.\n\nBut if the team has pushed the commits, consider git revert instead. That way, anyone who has pulled the bad commit can also [pull the revert commits](https:\/\/www.theserverside.com\/video\/Undo-and-revert-pushed-Git-commits) as well.\n\nBefore making any changes, [test these actions in a local copy of a repository](https:\/\/www.theserverside.com\/blog\/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions\/delete-local-git-branch-origin-force-merge-all).

However, the difference here is that the command specifies the commit ID that needs to be undone rather than the commit ID that the team wants to reset to. ![Git revert 7b9a698 command](https://www.techtarget.com/rms/onlineimages/howell-5-f_mobile.jpg) Anthony Howell Figure 5. The code displays the git history of the previous commit after running git revert 7b9a698. In Figure 5 there's an additional parameter: \--no-edit. This prevents Git from opening the default editor to specify a custom commit message. Figure 6 displays how the git history will look. ![Git history after reverting previous commit](https://www.techtarget.com/rms/onlineimages/howell-6-f_mobile.jpg) Anthony Howell Figure 6. The code displays the git history after reverting to the previous commit. In this scenario, all changes made in the second commit were reverted with an additional commit that does the opposite. ## Git reset vs. git revert In choosing between git reset and git revert, it's important to understand exactly what each one does. Git reset will delete commits from the history, so if admins are working locally and haven't pushed any commits, this will likely be the better option. But if the team has pushed the commits, consider git revert instead. That way, anyone who has pulled the bad commit can also [pull the revert commits](https://www.theserverside.com/video/Undo-and-revert-pushed-Git-commits) as well. Before making any changes, [test these actions in a local copy of a repository](https://www.theserverside.com/blog/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions/delete-local-git-branch-origin-force-merge-all). That way, if admins make any mistakes, [they can fall back](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-pull) to executing a git pull. Editor's Note: This article was originally written by Stuart Burns in 2021.

Readable Markdown	With Git, IT teams can implement version control. Humans make mistakes and sometimes need to roll back to previous versions of content. Luckily, there are mechanisms in Git that allow programmers to [roll back these commits](https://www.theserverside.com/blog/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions/amend-git-commit-message-remove-undo-change-update-github-gitlab) to a known-good version. However, there are potential code implications that can arise when teams execute these commands. ## What is git reset? Every time an IT admin commits a Git deployment, that latest commit becomes the head, or tip, of the code tree -- in other words, the current version. The Git commit process provides a point-in-time snapshot (PIT snapshot) of the version-controlled files at the time of every change. An administrator can roll back the code repository to a previous commit -- that point-in-time copy -- in several ways, depending on the end goal. One approach is the git reset command. Before using this command, teams must understand what git reset does. Outcomes can vary between command uses and with which switches. Use the command with caution. There are [two modes for git reset](https://www.theserverside.com/blog/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions/Git-reset-hard-vs-soft-Whats-the-difference): - Git reset soft. This mode resets the code tree's head to the designated former commit instance. All the files between that PIT snapshot and now are set to staged -- ready to commit but not yet committed. This is the default mode. - Git reset hard. Use this mode with extreme caution because the changes can't be reverted. This command will [reset everything](https://www.theserverside.com/video/How-to-use-the-git-reset-hard-command-to-change-a-commit-history), move the head back to the indicated commit version and [remove all changes added to the code tree](https://www.theserverside.com/blog/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions/remove-revert-discard-local-uncommitted-changes-Git-how-to) after that specific version number. In effect, the git reset command instantiates a "hard deletion" of all changes from now -- or point in time of code reversion -- to the designated former code commit. It resets the code tree to the version in question and deletes [unstaged files](https://www.theserverside.com/blog/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions/git-unstage-file-all-index-commit-folder-add-delete). ## Git reset example First, decide how far back to go into the [version history](https://www.theserverside.com/video/Understand-the-Git-working-tree-status-command-for-easy-DVCS). To view the previous commits, use the git log --oneline command. This command [provides the commit details](https://www.theserverside.com/blog/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions/How-to-git-stash-untracked-files). ![Git log oneline command](https://www.techtarget.com/rms/onlineimages/howell-1-f_mobile.jpg) Anthony Howell Figure 1. The code displays the git log output of previous commits after running the git log –-oneline command. Once the team chooses a code version they want to revert their tree to, use the commit ID to execute the command. In the following example, a soft reset is used since \--hard is not specified. The code 3a96a8e represents the commit ID, gained from the git log output in Figure 1. ![Execute the revert](https://www.techtarget.com/rms/onlineimages/howell-2-f_mobile.jpg) Anthony Howell Figure 2. The code displays the commit ID 3a96a8e that will execute the revert. Alternatively, there is a shorthand method to roll back the commit without knowing the necessary commit ID. Admins can reset code versions relative to where the current head is using the code in Figure 3. In the example, ~1 refers to the number of commits backward that the code tree will revert to. The image below illustrates the results of adding several commits and then resetting back one version. ![Git reset head-1 command](https://www.techtarget.com/rms/onlineimages/howell-3-f_mobile.jpg) Anthony Howell Figure 3. The code displays the output after running git reset head~1. ## Git revert example Admins can also use git revert. [This command](https://www.theserverside.com/tutorial/How-to-git-revert-a-commit-A-simple-undo-changes-example) undoes the effects of a bad or incorrect commit by creating a commit that does the opposite of the commit in question. By reverting the commit in this manner, the history stays intact. Teams can use git log --oneline again to see the current commit IDs. ![Git log – oneline command](https://www.techtarget.com/rms/onlineimages/howell-4-f_mobile.jpg) Anthony Howell Figure 4. The code displays the current commit IDs after running git log –oneline. Then they can revert to a specific commit with similar syntax as the reset command. However, the difference here is that the command specifies the commit ID that needs to be undone rather than the commit ID that the team wants to reset to. ![Git revert 7b9a698 command](https://www.techtarget.com/rms/onlineimages/howell-5-f_mobile.jpg) Anthony Howell Figure 5. The code displays the git history of the previous commit after running git revert 7b9a698. In Figure 5 there's an additional parameter: \--no-edit. This prevents Git from opening the default editor to specify a custom commit message. Figure 6 displays how the git history will look. ![Git history after reverting previous commit](https://www.techtarget.com/rms/onlineimages/howell-6-f_mobile.jpg) Anthony Howell Figure 6.
