I did a git commit but I have not pushed it to the repository yet. So when I do git status, I get '# Your branch is ahead of 'master' by 1 commit.

So if I want to roll back my top commit, can I just do:

git reset --hard eb27bf26dd18c5a34e0e82b929e0d74cfcaab316

given that when I do git log I get:

commit eb27bf26dd18c5a34e0e82b929e0d74cfcaab316
Date:   Tue Sep 29 11:21:41 2009 -0700


commit db0c078d5286b837532ff5e276dcf91885df2296
Date:   Tue Sep 22 10:31:37 2009 -0700

I believe that one of those will fit your need

1 - Undo commit and keep all files staged: git reset --soft HEAD~

2 - Undo commit and unstage all files: git reset HEAD~

3 - Undo the commit and completely remove all changes: git reset --hard HEAD~

here is were I found the answer

There are two branches to this question (Rolling back a commit does not mean I want to lose all my local changes):

1. To revert the latest commit and discard changes in the committed file do:

git reset --hard HEAD~1

2. To revert the latest commit but retain the local changes (on disk) do:

git reset --soft HEAD~1

This (the later command) will take you to the state you would have been if you did git add.

If you want to unstage the files after that, do

git reset

Now you can make more changes before adding and then committing again.

Simply type in the console : 

$ git reset HEAD~

This command discards all local commits ahead of the remote HEAD

Remove the last commit before push

git reset --soft HEAD~1

1 means the last commit, if you want to remove two last use 2, and so forth*

I just had the same problem and ended up doing:

git rebase -i HEAD~N

(N is the number of commits git will show you)

That prompts your text editor and then you can remove the commit you want by deleting the line associated with it.
