Undo the last commit that was pushed to origin

I tend to use this in conjunction with creating a new branch, GOTO 30

WARNING: git reset --hard WILL DELETE YOUR WORKING DIRECTORY CHANGES. 
Be sure to stash any local changes you want to keep before running these commands

$ git reset --hard HEAD~1

HEAD~1 means the commit before head.
If you want to go back more than one commit..
- look at the output of git log
- find the commit id of the commit you want to revert back to
- specify the sha1 commit id when doing the git reset, for example..

$ git reset --hard <sha1-commit-id>

Because the commit was pushed to origin, we need to do a force push to get rid of the commit

$ git push origin HEAD --force









Create a branch based on the last commit, i.e. HEAD, then revert to previous commit and push

$ git checkout -b featureX
$ git checkout master
$ git reset --hard HEAD~1
$ git push origin HEAD --force

Work can now continue on featureX and the last commit on the master branch was removed.
