git push -force后如何还原存储库？

Question

I was connected to my github repository but got the following error when I tried to push a file:

To https://github.com/name/port.git ! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward) error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/name/port.git' To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected Merge the remote changes (eg 'git pull') before pushing again. See the 'Note about fast-forwards' section of 'git push --help' for details.

After looking through the guide, I found the -force option and forced a push:

git push -f

but now everything in that repository has been overwritten. How do I revert back to an earlier commit? Sorry, I'm new to github and I would appreciate any help!

Answer 1

You'll want to use git reflog . Git doesn't remove commits from its database until you run git gc .

git reflog
ABCD1234 HEAD@{0}: Boom goes the dynamite! Your repository is hosed!
...
EFGH5678 HEAD@{n}: Last known good commit
*shift + Q to exit*
git reset --hard EFGH5678
git push -f

Note: This has nothing to do with GitHub. This is behavior in Git itself you are noticing.
