git reset --hard?

Check merge's id with "git log"
Then git revert

revlog fuckery

I've read the git book back to back and a few tutorials and I still don't fully understand it. I might dive into a random project just to learn more about git; using it for my own stupid shit just feels silly and I like I'm not learning anything.

Git reflog, git reset, git push - f

Checkout the last proper commit on master and then force push that to origin, erasing the history of your disaster. If for some reason you want to preserve your screw up in history, just revert the merge commit.

Tried it, didn't work

>>51423999

Tried this too :(

>>51424009

Do you mean reflog?

>>51424051

Does git-reset require any flags or is the command literally as you described it?

Also does this still work if there's no current MERGE-HEAD? I'm on a different machine currently, just seeing what I can do with clones of the origin repo.

Cheers all for the advice.

How do I check out a specific commit?

>>51424723

Looks like Chewbacca

>>51424686
git checkout SHAOFCOMMIT

Poor dog 3:

>>51424686
so you'll probably want to do

git checkout sha123456123

git push -f origin branch_name

but, you dumb faggot, make sure you take current master and do

git checkout -b master_copy and push that shit somewhere so that you have a back up in case you fuck more things up

Great, thanks guy(s?)

You should learn properly how git works.
Trying to use git just as you would use svn or mercurial is just fighting against the tool.

Believe me, learn how it works, it's not that hard and time used learning how to use your tools is not time wasted.

I learned mainly with this video :

Yeah, I've been in the habit of just using the bits I need at any given time. I'll do this.
