# Reset a commit
|

```reset``` is the command which can be used when we want to move the repository back to a previous commit, discarding any changes made after that commit.<br/>
|
|
The main difference between resetting and reverting a commit is that git reset ```unstages a file and bring our changes back to the working directory```
|
|
and git revert ```removes the commits from the remote repository```. <br/>
|
|
|
|
```git reset``` can be achieved using following commands:
|
|
- The following command will give summary of all the commits using following two parameters:
|
|
|
|
- The first seven characters of the commit hash - this is what we need to refer to in our **reset** command.
|

- the commit message
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git log --oneline
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
- One can reset repository back to the specific commit using following command: <br />
|
|
```git reset commithash```
|
|
where commithash being the first 7 characters of the commit hash we found in the log
