How do you roll back (reset) a Git repository to a particular commit? [duplicate]

by 
git reset --hard <tag/branch/commit id>

Notes:

  • git reset without the --hard option resets the commit history, but not the files. With the --hard option the files in working tree are also reset. (credited user)

  • If you wish to commit that state so that the remote repository also points to the rolled back commit do: git push <reponame> -f (credited user)
