Q: How do I undo the most recent local commits in Git?

(One of the most viewed questions on Stack Overflow)

Answer:

To undo your last local Git commit, you have two options:

1. Keep the changes (just uncommit):

git reset --soft HEAD~1

This removes the last commit but keeps your code changes staged.

2. Uncommit and unstage the changes:

git reset --mixed HEAD~1

This keeps your changes in the working directory but unstages them.

3. Undo everything including code changes:

git reset --hard HEAD~1

Bonus Tip:

To view your recent commit history:

git log --oneline
