How do I go back to a previous Git Commit?

Question

How do I go back to a previous commit?

I would like my files to look exactly the same as all my files when I made the transaction below.

$ git log
commit 81cf7fa47adc0923aeabe323778e2783f2e832f5
Date:   Thu Apr 2 21:32:27 2015 +1000

I looked around, many people had different answers.

You can always get a check for a specific commit in git by running the command

git checkout commit_hash

So in your case it would be

git checkout 81cf7fa47adc0923aeabe323778e2783f2e832f5

Or HEAD @ {1} is a pointer to one commit, so the next one will do the same

git checkout HEAD@{1}
