Referencing the child of a commit in Git

Question

If you want to move the HEAD to the parent of the current HEAD, that\'s easy:

git reset --hard HEAD^

But is there

Answer 1

You can use gitk ... since there can be more than one child there is probably no easy way like HEAD^.

If you want to undo your whole operation you can use the reflog, too. Use git reflog to find your commit’s pointer, which you can use for the reset command. See here.
