Git: How to uncommit my last commit in git

uncommitLastCommit.md

To keep the changes from the commit you want to undo

$ git reset --soft HEAD^

To destroy the changes from the commit you want to undo

$ git reset --hard HEAD^

You can also say

$ git reset --soft HEAD~2

to go back 2 commits.

If you are on Windows you will need to put HEAD or commit hash in quotes.

$ git reset --soft "HEAD^"
$ git reset --soft "asdf"
