Trying to revert to a previous Github commit. I'm now really struggling with committing it to the master. I think I've created a branch but can't get my head around how to move this to master from the documentation available.
git add .
git commit . -m "trying to commit to master"
On branch 419cc51c425e6eb1a93061a76a647b031fdf354e
How do I move this commit to the master?
git terminal git-commit

Your question is unclear -- what do you mean by managing to get the files (which files) "back working locally"? What branch have you created -- your snippet does not show creating any branch. One branch is always there by default --master. In any case, you'd have to elaborate on what do you refer to with "rollback" -- there is no such term applicable to Git. Every commit points to a tree -- a snapshot of a directory, if you will. By rolling back, you may be referring to checking out an earlier commit (in time), or discarding all commits after it.

Thanks, it's likely unclear, as I'm unclear on this issue. I'm able to get a previous commit working locally. What I would like to do is revert back to a previous commit and disregard commits after that.

If you want to reset your working tree to the tree of an [earlier] commit, moving the pointer that is the current branch to that commit, you need to do a hard reset withgit reset --hard <commit>, with<commit>being a reference to the commit you want to revert to. It may be a reference likeHEAD~7, meaning that you want to go back to the 7th ancestor of current tip of the branch. I do recommend you take the time to read Git from the Bottom Up for better Git knowledge.

A warning is in order though, for hard resets -- a hard reset discards your working tree, meaning that any uncommitted changes you have are lost. Make sure to preserve your working tree prior to a hard reset, if you need to. You can learn aboutgit stashfor that purpose, although it's optional as far as saving the working tree goes.

If your unwanted changes are in a commit, can you usegit revert <commit>? It's even possible for you to revert multiple commits separately and then make a single reversion commit. See: stackoverflow.com/questions/1463340/…
