Git Command Generator

Step 1 / 2
Next

Every engineer has Googled “how do I undo the last commit” at least twice. Instead of guessing between reset --soft, reset --mixed and reset --hard, pick the task from a list and the generator prints the exact command, with your branch, commit SHA or tag name filled in.

How to generate a Git command

  1. 1

    Pick the task

    Undo last commit, amend message, rebase onto main, cherry-pick, force-reset to remote, tag a release…

  2. 2

    Fill in the parameters

    Branch name, commit SHA, tag: only the fields each task needs.

  3. 3

    Read the command

    The tool assembles the right flags in the right order.

  4. 4

    Copy and run

    Paste into your terminal; the command is a drop-in line, not pseudo-code.

Tasks it covers

Task Command produced
Undo last commit (keep staged) git reset --soft HEAD~1
Amend last commit message git commit --amend -m "…"
Discard all uncommitted changes git restore . + git clean -fd
Create + switch to a new branch git checkout -b feature/x
Delete branch locally + remotely git branch -d x + git push origin --delete x
Sync feature branch with main git fetch origin + git rebase origin/main
Cherry-pick a commit git cherry-pick <sha>
Revert a commit (safe) git revert <sha>
Tag and push a release git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "…" + git push origin v1.0.0
Force-reset local to remote git fetch origin + git reset --hard origin/main

Commands marked safe vs destructive

  • Safe (rewind-able): commit, switch, checkout -b, revert, tag.
  • Destructive on local working tree: restore ., clean -fd, reset --hard.
  • Destructive on shared history: push --force, filter-repo, rebase on branches others use.

Tip: dry-run risky commands

Before git clean -fd, run git clean -nd, the -n flag prints what would be deleted without deleting. Same idea for git rm: read git status first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because “undo” means different things. reset --soft HEAD~1 keeps your changes staged so you can re-commit; --mixed unstages them; --hard throws them away. The generator lets you pick the intent instead of memorising flags.

revert creates a new commit that undoes an old one, safe on a shared branch because history is preserved. reset rewinds the branch pointer, which changes history and requires a force push if the branch is shared.

Yes, for the “remove a file from all history” task. It is safer and faster than the deprecated filter-branch; you must install it separately (brew install git-filter-repo or via pip).

No. It only prints the command, running it is always your decision, so you can review flags and context before touching the repo.
