I was messing about with reset after reading stuff in the Pro Git book.

I basically ended up doing a reset --hard to a revision 12 commits previous.

I can’t seem to get back to the present, or the latest commit. I’ve tried reset using ORIG_HEAD and even feeding it in the sha1 of the revision to go forward to.

Running git status I get:
Your branch is behind by 12 commits and can be fast-forwarded.

How do I move HEAD back to the latest commit?

    It seems as though you’ve already pushed the 12 commits you reset. If that’s the case, then

    git merge --ff-only REMOTE/BRANCH_NAME
    

    should work where REMOTE is the name of the remote (commonly origin) and BRANCH_NAME is the name of your current branch.
