GitHub - How to revert changes to previous state

Viewed 74749

I am using GitHub as my remote repository.

I have already pushed 5 commits to the server and want to revert back to the state before the those commits.

If the commit hash is 3425661dba2aadccdbab, how do I revert the entire local/remote back to that commit? I tried

$ reset --hard 3425661dba2aadccdbab

but that only resetted my working head to that branch and requires me to do a git pull again. I tried checkout, but this caused me to land in a "detached head" branch.
