I realized that I made some mistakes on HEAD, checked out an older commit

  • 0

I realized that I made some mistakes on HEAD, checked out an older commit and started coding from there. When I attempt a push I’m told that my current commit is behind and I need to merge with HEAD. Git recommends "git pull". However, HEAD has the code I want to ignore. How do I solve this problem?

Flowchart:

-------- HEAD (bad) ---------------------- + (behind conflict, requires
     \                                    /   merge with HEAD, which is
      \------- Current commit (good) ----/    bad and needs to be ignored)

    If your repository isn’t being used by other people, you can safely do git push -f to overwrite the remote branch.
