How to push into master or any other branch after removing last n commits in git?

  1. git log to find out the commit you want to revert
  2. git push origin +daee17:master while daee17 is the commit before the wrongly pushed commit.+ was for force push
  3. Finally use git push origin master to sync your local with your git repo

And that’s it.

Below is my log aka example. One of the teammates had committed to the repo (he was not supposed to) after which I committed on server and when I tried to push it on github.com, I received REJECTED error because the remote contained 2 commits which the server did not have.

[ttc@aws www]$ git push origin master
To github.com:Organization/ttc.git
 ! [rejected]          master -> master (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:Organization/ttc.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do
hint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing
hint: to the same ref. You may want to first integrate the remote changes
hint: (e.g., 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.
[ttc@aws www]$ git history
git: 'history' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
[ttc@aws www]$ git log
