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"

Thanks alexislucena, its really helpful.

when i run the above command I get the following errro
fatal: ambiguous argument '–-soft': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git [...] -- [...]'

@shahab-ab from your error message, it seems you are using a dash character that is not the standard, – instead of -

@alexislucena thank you.. it worked.
