How to delete the last n commits on Github and locally?
commit, git, github
Solution
To remove the last two commits locally I'd suggest using:
git reset --hard HEAD^^
Rebase is a completely different operation that won't help you here.
Problem
I'm trying to delete the last 2 commits from one of my GitHub repositories. I've tried as suggested here : `git push -f origin HEAD^^:master`. It seems that it works, as the last two commits are removed. Then I deleted them from my local repository with `git rebase -i HEAD~2`. I remove the lines that are related to those commits, and check with `git log` that they are correctly removed. After that, I make some changes in my local repository, make a new commit, and push to GitHub. The problem is that, in my GitHub account, I have the previous two commits that I've tried to delete. I think the problem is in my local repository, because if I clone my Github repository to my local and make some changes here, when I push a new commit those old commits aren't pushed to GitHub.
