A <- B <- C <- D <- HEAD

It sounds like I can either try to rebase…
I know that Git tracks changes I make to my application, and holds on to them until I commit the changes.
To revert to a previous commit, I used:
$ git reset --hard HEAD
HEAD is now at 820f417 micro
How do I then revert the files on my hard drive…
What is the simplest way to undo a particular commit that is:
not in the head or HEAD
Has been pushed to the remote.

I am trying to learn how to restore or rollback files and projects to a prior state, and don't understand the difference between git revert, checkout, and reset. Why are there 3 different commands for seemingly the same purpose, and when should…
I have run into a bit of a problem here: I had a problem-specific branch 28s in Git, that I merged in the general develop branch. Turns out I had done it too fast, so I used git-revert to undo the merge. Now, however, the time has come to merge 28s…
In Git, I was trying to do a squash commit by merging in another branch and then resetting HEAD to the previous place via:
git reset origin/master
But I need to step out of this. How can I move HEAD back to the previous location?

So I'm working on a project with other people, and there's multiple github forks being worked on. Someone just made a fix for a problem and I merged with his fork, but then I realized that I could find a better solution. I want to revert the commit…
By mistake, I did git add . and git commit in the develop branch. But luckily, I did not do git push.
So I wanted to revert it back to original state.

How do I…
