Undoing a Git Rebase
Undoing a Git rebase involves restoring the branch to its original state before the rebase. If the rebase was completed but not pushed to a remote repository yet, you can use the reflog to find the commit before the rebase and reset the branch to that commit. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Find the Commit Before the Rebase
git reflog
This command will display a list of recent actions, including the commits before and after the rebase. Look for the commit before the rebase.
Step 2: Reset the Branch
Once you've identified the commit before the rebase, use git reset to move the branch pointer back to that commit:
git reset --hard <commit-before-rebase>
Replace <commit-before-rebase> with the commit hash or reference before the rebase.
Note:
- Be cautious when using
git reset --hard, as it will discard any changes in your working directory and staging area. - If the rebase has been pushed to a remote repository and shared with others, you may need to coordinate with your collaborators to undo the changes appropriately.
