How to delete last commit in git

I always struggle to remember how to delete last commit in git - not that I’ve to do it often btw 😝

The git reset command permits to reset current HEAD to the specified state.
We can use the syntax HEAD~1 to specify the desired state; it means one commit back from current HEAD.
Putting everything together:

git reset --soft HEAD~1

The --soft flag assures the changes are preserved in the working copy.
If this is not what you want - better be sure this is the case - replace --soft with --hard.

git reset --hard HEAD~1

Looking forward deleting my next commit - or maybe not.
