        Before breakfast - done, remaining AJAX query

The code is already pushed in github.

I want to go back to the state when I have made a commit-

    commit 3ba2bfea5d7ad8ff4a83b23595c7a9841bc064b2
    Author: S. M. Abrar Jahin <abrarjahin@live.com>
    Date:   Sat Oct 10 13:31:08 2015 +0600

        Animation for removing item

So, what I had tried is-

git reset --hard 3ba2bfea5d7ad8ff4a83b23595c7a9841bc064b2

When I run it, it says, " HEAD is now at 3ba2bfe Animation for removing item "

But I am finding that, it is not the state when I had made the commmit.

What can I do, can anyone please help?

Answer 1

When I run it, it says, "HEAD is now at 3ba2bfe Animation for removing item". But I am finding that, it is not the state when I had made the commit.

The branch you were on when you ran reset , as well as your checkout, is now at 3ba2bfe. If the content is not what you expected it to be, with respect, you've mis-remembered that commit. You can check by checking out that commit, git checkout 3ba2bfe , and looking at the content or git show 3ba2bfe to see the diff.

The only other explanation is when you say "it is not the state when I had made the commit" that "it" is something else. I assume you're referring to your local branch. Or are you talking about the branch on Github?
