How to remove local commits in git

To remove local commits, you can use the git reset command.

1. Firstly, you can use the “git log” command to view the commit history of the current branch and identify the hash value of the commit you want to remove.
2. There are several options available when using the git reset command to undo commits.
3. To remove the most recent commit, you can use git reset HEAD~1. This will undo the latest commit and keep the changes in the working directory.
4. To remove multiple commits, you can use git reset HEAD~, where is the number of commits to be removed.
5. To completely delete a commit and discard all changes, you can use git reset –hard HEAD~1 or git reset –hard HEAD~.

Note: Using the git reset command will alter the project’s history, so make sure no one else relies on these commits before proceeding with this operation.

1. Afterward, you can use the git log command to review the commit history again and ensure that the unnecessary commits have been successfully removed.

It is important to remember to back up your code before clearing the commit in case any mistakes lead to data loss.
