Answer by tk_ for How do I delete a commit from a branch?

Say we want to remove commits 2 & 4 from the repo. (Higher the the number newer the commit; 0 is the oldest commit and 4 is the latest commit)

commit 0 : b3d92c5commit 1 : 2c6a45bcommit 2 : <any_hash>commit 3 : 77b9b82commit 4 : <any_hash>

Note: You need to have admin rights over the repo since you are using --hard and -f.

• git checkout b3d92c5 Checkout the last usable commit.
• git checkout -b repair Create a new branch to work on.
• git cherry-pick 77b9b82 Run through commit 3.
• git cherry-pick 2c6a45b Run through commit 1.
• git checkout master Checkout master.
• git reset --hard b3d92c5 Reset master to last usable commit.
• git merge repair Merge our new branch onto master.
• git push -f origin master Push master to the remote repo.
