## About undoing a commit
|
|
|
|
If you made a mistake in your changes, you can undo a commit in {% data variables.product.prodname_desktop %}. Undoing a commit restores the changes in the commit to your working directory and resets the branch to the previous commit, so you can make further changes before committing again.
|
|
|
|
You can undo multiple sequential commits up to a commit that has already been pushed to the remote repository by selecting a previous commit and using the "reset to commit" option. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/desktop/managing-commits/resetting-to-a-commit-in-github-desktop). To undo a pushed commit without disrupting commit history for other contributors, you can revert the commit. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/desktop/managing-commits/reverting-a-commit-in-github-desktop).
|
|
|
|
If you want to edit your most recent commit message, or combine new changes with your most recent commit, you can amend a commit. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/desktop/managing-commits/amending-a-commit-in-github-desktop).
