Git Undoing Return to a previous commit Any changes can be made into a proper branch using either branch or checkout -b . Beware: While you can recover the discarded commits using reflog and reset , uncommitted changes cannot be recovered. Use git stash; git reset instead of git reset --hard to be safe.
Thus, to return the repository to the state before these changes were done, we need to revert the multiple commits done. We can use the git revert command for reverting multiple commits in Git. Another way of reverting multiple commits is to use the git reset command.
git reset --hard 4a155e5 Will move the HEAD back to where you want to be. There may be other references ahead of that time that you would need to remove if you don't want anything to point to the history you just deleted.

You can revert all your files under your working directory and index by typing following this command
git reset --hard <SHAsum of your commit>
You can also type
git reset --hard HEAD #your current head point
or
git reset --hard HEAD^ #your previous head point
Hope it helps
