How do I rollback my local files to a previous Git commit from the Terminal? I've read the other similar questions but being a newbie to GitHub I'm still a little puzzled.



My previous commit I want to rollback my local files back to is called
dd2cf7a782f89ba274a748e0cd704d4c2eb82ce6

  • You "check out" the version you want: git checkout dd2cf...

  • Sounds like a non-git problem; did you rename your project folder? Start a new shell, go to the folder and try again.

  • Thanks. Yeh I did, I have now corrected it and the command returns the option to create a branch. I have done this, all looks back to normal! :)

  • Careful about "detached heads", if you work off a non-head in git your changeset can drift off into bit space... Read the tutorial.

You "check out" the version you want: git checkout dd2cf7a782f89 should do it (i.e. you can use just part of the changeset hash).
