How to revert project back to a previous commit in android studio

Question

I am working on a project in android studio and would like to revert to a previous push. I attempted
VCS => Git => Reset Head (Hard)
but my project in Android Studio is unchanged, likely because I'm doing something wrong. I would like to revert the project in Android Studio to a specific earlier commit that I've pushed and I see on github. I do not care about any changes that I have made since the earlier push.
Additionally, I would like this to be done through the GUI within Android Studio if possible.

Answer 1

Android Studio Instructions: if you want to do this in Android Studio, press alt + 9 (or Command + 9 on Mac) to open the Version Control panel. Switch to the Log tab and right click on a previous commit. Select Checkout Revision.

Command line instructions: Open the command line tool you are using. Go to the Android app's Git directory (using cd). Execute git log and find the previous commit you want to revert to.

If that is the commit you want to revert to, then execute git checkout 7c247b.

Answer 2

Open the Version Control Panel using alt + 9 and click on Log. This should show a list of commits. Right click on the commit you want to revert to and select Reset Current Branch to Here. This should bring up a list of options to keep or discard changes when reverting. Select Hard to discard any current changes and click Reset.
