Can we revert a last git pull on my local machine only?

Question

I have pulled data from a shared repository, but seems to be some errors on the remote. I can not fix his errors and commit back the code. I want to revert my code before pull and work on the feature on which I was working on.

Doing only git revert sha will work? I don't want to push my revert to the server.

What should I do?

git revert generates a new commit. Try to git reset --hard sha where sha is the commit id of your last working commit.

That will reset your HEAD to that commit and so deletes all following commits, which should be the commits you just pulled.

Caution: Can cause data loss on wrong usage.

Note that `git reset --hard` will delete any uncomitted changes. – Ikke Mar 13 '14 at 07:18
@phortx / @ikke : This is my git status `$ git status # On branch develop nothing to commit, working directory clean` I think there would have no any loss, right? – Laxmikant Ratnaparkhi Mar 13 '14 at 07:23
Then it's no problem. To be sure, just copy your directory ;) – phortx Mar 13 '14 at 07:24
