Is there any way to undo the effects of “git revert head”?

By mistake, I messed up with my GIT. Several times I executed git reset –soft HEAD^^ & then committed my changes. I never cared about what this command does !

Started like this; I created my local branch & then cherry pick the change. Later I followed
git reset –soft HEAD^^ & then local commit every time.

I just realized that I did wrong !

Can anyone explain what this command does ? Any implication to my code ?
Where exactly my HEAD should point to & how can I do that ?

Answer 1

Just see git reflog and find the original HEAD that you want to go to (referenced as HEAD@{0} etc.) and do git reset --hard HEAD@{n}

And try to run idempotent commands as much as possible. Avoid HEAD~ etc and if you use, make sure you don’t just randomly rerun them.
