How do you undo a commit that has already been pushed?

If a commit has been pushed to a shared branch, the safest way is to revert it — not

remove it.

git revert <commit-hash>

This creates a new commit that undoes the changes from the old one, without rewriting

history.

Example:

If you pushed a buggy commit that broke the login page, git revert creates a new

commit that removes those buggy changes while keeping the history intact.

⚠ Avoid git reset on shared branches because it rewrites history — it can

mess up others’ work.
