Discard Unpushed Commits Completely
If you want to completely remove unpushed commits from your local repository history, including any changes they introduced, you can use the git reset command.
- Reset to a Specific Commit: Use
git logto identify the commit you want to reset to. Then, use the following command to reset the branch to that commit, discarding all commits after it:
git reset --hard <commit_hash>
Replace <commit_hash> with the hash of the commit you want to reset to.
- Force Push: After resetting, if you’ve already pushed the commits you want to remove, you’ll need to force push to update the remote repository:
git push origin <branch_name> --force
Replace <branch_name> with the name of your branch.
