In case you like to keep the commit changes after deletion:
Note that this solution works if the commit to be removed is the last committed one.
1 – Copy the commit reference you like to go back to from the log:
git log
2 – Reset git to the commit reference:
git reset <commit_ref>
3 – Stash/store the local changes from the wrong commit to use later after pushing to remote:
git stash
4 – Push the changes to remote repository, (-f or –force):
git push -f
5 – Get back the stored changes to local repository:
git stash apply
7 – In case you have untracked/new files in the changes, you need to add them to git before committing:
git add .
6 – Add whatever extra changes you need, then commit the needed files, (or use a dot ‘.’ instead of stating each file name, to commit all files in the local repository:
git commit -m "<new_commit_message>" <file1> <file2> ...
or
git commit -m "<new_commit_message>" .
