- For another perspective, I use TortoiseGit (https://tortoisegit.org/) on Windows a fair bit:
- 1. Checkout the branch.
- 2. Open the log window (Git Show log).
- 3. Right-click on the commit/branch that you want to reset to, and choose Reset...:
- 4. In that dialog, you can choose soft, hard, or mixed reset. I usually pick hard.
5. Once done, like lizuki said, pushing may be troublesome, but if no one else has pushed that branch in the meantime, I like to push with the "force with lease" option checked. With it checked, you can only push if there are no new (as in, from other people) commits on the branch on the remote. But if you need to force it, just coordinate with others working off that branch.
