Git revert to commit

Have you ever made a git commit only to figure out that it wasn't such a good idea? How about wanting to go back in your history and reverting to a specific commit? It's actually simple once you know how to do it:

git reset 56e05fced
git reset --soft HEAD@{1}
git commit -m "Revert to 56e05fced"
git reset --hard

Just replace 56e05fced with the commit code you want to revert to.

1. The first line resets the index to a former commit (56e05fced in this case).
2. The second line moves the pointer back to the previous head.
3. Third line is self explanatory (commits the changes with a message).
4. Last tine updates the working copy to reflect the new commit

Then all you have to do is push the changes with a git push origin master or whatever your branch may be.
