This can be done using the git reset command to move the HEAD pointer back one commit while keeping the changes in your working directory.
git reset HEAD~1
The command has successfully unstaged your last commit. The changes from that commit are now back in your working directory, but they are not staged or committed. You can now:
- Review the changes
- Make additional modifications if needed
- Stage and commit the changes again when you’re ready
Revert the last local changes
This will discard all uncommitted changes in your working directory and staging area. Since this is a destructive operation, I’ll use git reset –hard to revert to the last commit.
git reset --hard HEAD
What Happens
- All uncommitted changes are discarded
- Working directory returns to the state of the last commit
- Staging area is cleared
- ⚠️ Warning: This operation cannot be undone
