## Rogue Coder?
Working on your own passion project and just want it to work? Follow these instructions below, they’ve worked reliably for me for years.
Working with others on a project? Git is complicated.
Research and consider other answers, and discuss with your team _before you do something rash_.
And these options are the definition of **rash**.
### Reverting Working Copy to Most Recent Commit
To revert to the previous commit, ignoring any changes:
```
git reset --hard HEAD
```
where HEAD is the last commit in your current branch
### Reverting The Working Copy to an Older Commit
To revert to a commit that's older than the most recent commit:
```
# Resets index to former commit; replace '56e05fced' with your commit code
git reset 56e05fced
# Moves pointer back to previous HEAD
git reset --soft HEAD@{1}
git commit -m "Revert to 56e05fced"
# Updates working copy to reflect the new commit
git reset --hard
# Push your changes to respective branch
git push -f
```
