How to Undo the Last Commit on Github?

To undo the last commit on GitHub, use the following steps:

1. Undo Locally:
   • Run git reset --soft HEAD~1 to undo the commit while keeping changes staged, or
   • Use git reset --mixed HEAD~1 to unstage changes but keep them in your working directory.
2. Push Changes to GitHub:
   • For a shared repository, use git push --force to overwrite the commit history.

⚠️ Caution: Avoid --force in shared repositories without team agreement to prevent overwriting others’ work.

For a safer alternative, use git revert <commit_hash> to create a new commit that undoes the previous one.
