I accidentally committed to the wrong branch. How do I delete that commit?

Use the git reset Command to Remove Unpushed Commits in Git. Whenever we want to commit changes to the project directory, we can commit the changes using the git add and git commit commands. When using the git commit command, a commit is created in the local Git repository.
To remove the last commit from git, you can simply run git reset --hard HEAD^ If you are removing multiple commits from the top, you can run git reset --hard HEAD~2 to remove the last two commits. You can increase the number to remove even more commits.
Open the history tab in Team Explorer from the Branches tile (right-click your branch). Then in the history right-click the commit before the one you don't want to push, choose Reset. That will move the branch back to that commit and should get rid of the extra commit you made.
In the new window, select the commit you want gone, and press the "Delete"-button at the bottom, or right click the commit and click "Delete commit". Click "OK" (or "Cancel" if you want to abort).
Delete the most recent commit, keeping the work you've done:
git reset --soft HEAD~1 Delete the most recent commit, destroying the work you've done:
git reset --hard HEAD~1 If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
