How can I undo a `git commit` locally and on a remote after `git push`

Question

I have performed git commit followed by a git push. How can I revert that change on both local and remote repositories?

$ git log
         


        

Answer 1

Generally, make an "inverse" commit, using:

git revert 364705c

then send it to the remote as usual:

git push

This won't delete the commit: it makes an additional commit that undoes whatever the first commit did. Anything else, not really safe, especially when the changes have already been propagated.
