How to Undo Git Amend

1. Find the old commit

git log --reflog --oneline

052047f (HEAD -> main) Create how-to-undo-git-amend post
d4012dd Create how-to-undo-git-amend post

Here the old commit is d4012dd.

2. Move the current head to the old commit

git reset --soft d4012dd

The --soft flag uncommits the most recent commit, while keeping the changes in the staging area.

3. Create new commit

git commit -m "New commit"
