Revert Git to last commit

-

 

If you want to revert everything back to the last commit and discard all local changes, use this 👇

🔥 Hard reset (most common & safest)

This restores your working tree and index to the latest commit.

git reset --hard HEAD

What this does

  • ❌ Discards all modified files

  • ❌ Discards all staged files

  • ❌ Discards all untracked changes in tracked files

  • ✅ Leaves your repo exactly as the last commit

🧹 Also remove untracked files (optional but often needed)

If you also want to delete untracked files and folders:

git clean -fd

Or preview first (recommended):

git clean -fdn

✅ One-liner (full nuclear option)

git reset --hard HEAD && git clean -fd

⚠️ Important warning

This is irreversible unless:

  • Changes were committed

  • Or stashed

  • Or still exist elsewhere

Start all Docker containers

-
To start (bring up) all existing Docker containers , use this: docker start $(docker ps -aq) Explanation docker ps -aq → lists all containers (running or stopped) docker start → starts stopped containers If you are using Docker Compose From the directory with docker-compose.yml: docker compose up -d Or for multiple compose projects (containers already created): docker compose start Useful checks See all containers and their status: docker ps -a See only running containers: docker ps Common gotcha If you see access forbidden , it means: Image not pulled (private registry) Not logged in Login first: docker login Then retry: docker start $(docker ps -aq)
