I messed up…
How do I undo a pushed commit so that it’s like it never happened?
Thanks!

Warning: every step here is destructive. Don’t get it wrong, and take a copy of your repo before you start.
git reset --hard $what, where what is the SHA or whatever you want to go back to on that branch. (eg:HEAD^if you just want to discard the latest commit.)Once you have done that,
git push --force ...to get that to the remote repository.That solves everything … except removing the dead blob, etc, from the remote repository. If that matters to you, life is harder. There isn’t any protocol way to get rid of it, so you either delete the remote repo and create a new, clean copy, or do something back-end specific.
