Rolling back a remote Git repository

Question

I have a remote Git repository, and I need to roll back the last n commits into cold oblivion.

Answer 1

If you have direct access to the remote repo, you could always use:

git reset --soft 

This works since there is no attempt to modify the non-existent working directory. For more details please see the original answer:

How can I uncommit the last commit in a git bare repository?
