# git-undo(1)

Remove latest commits

## NAME

**git-undo** - Remove latest commits

## SYNOPSIS

**git-undo** \[-s, --soft, -h, --hard\] \[\<commitcount\>\]

## DESCRIPTION

Removes the latest commits.

## OPTIONS

\--soft or -s

Rolls back the commit(s) but leaves the changes in the staging area.

\--hard or -h

This option wipes your commit(s), so that your changes cannot be recovered. Use with care. To avoid being confused with **--help**, there will be a confirmation when **-h** is specified.

\<commitcount\>

Number of commits to remove. Defaults to *1*, thus remove the latest commit.

## EXAMPLES

-

  ```
  $ git undo
  ```

-

  Removes the latest commit, restoring the staging area.

-

  ```
  $ git undo -s
  ```
