Undo Changes in Git

Undoing Local Changes That Have Not Been Committed

$ git status # List affected files
$ git checkout filename.html 
# File has now been reverted to previous commit

Undoing a Specific Commit (That Has Been Pushed)

$ git status # Make sure you have a clean working tree
$ git log --oneline # Find your commit's unique hash
$ git revert <hash> --no-edit
$ git push
# This will make a new commit and will revert the file(s) to their previous state as if it was never changed.

Undoing Your Last Commit (That Has Not Been Pushed)

$ git reset --soft HEAD~ # Revert last commit
OR
$ git reset --soft HEAD~2 # Revert last 2 commit (You can change number)

Undoing Local Changes That Have Been Committed (But Not Pushed)

$ git status # Make sure you have a clean working tree
$ git log --oneline # The one you want to revert back to
$ git reset <hash>
$ git reset --hard <hash>
# If you do git reset the commits will be removed, but the changes will appear as uncommitted, giving you access to the code. 
# If you dogit reset --hard the commits will be removed and the changes will disappear.
