When to use reset:

git reset --hard HEAD^
git push -f

• the reset command changes the commit history and it might overwrite history that remote team members depend on
• use the reset command if the commit being reset only exists locally

git revert <COMMIT>
git push

• the revert command creates a new commit that undoes the changes
• use the revert command if the commit being reset has been pushed to the remote
