How do you undo a pushed commit in Git?

It depends on who may have already taken your commit.

• Shared branch (like main): use git revert <commit> and then git push. History is not rewritten, so it is safe for everyone.
• Your own branch, nobody else uses it: you can use git reset --hard HEAD~1 and then git push --force-with-lease.

git revert HEAD
git push

# only on your own private branch
git reset --hard HEAD~1
git push --force-with-lease

See Git Revert and Git Push.
