| ### ONCE YOU START MAKING FORCIBLE CHANGES ON YOUR LOCAL OR HOSTED REPOS, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO UNDO YOUR UNDOs SO GO SLOWLY AND MAKE URE YOU DO THE RIGHT THING | |

| ### In your Git project's directory, figure out what the last "good" commit is | |
| ### | |
| ### Now use that last good commit and force our branch to use that as its HEAD | |
| ### | |
| git reset --hard {LASTGOODCOMMIT} | |
| ### | |
| ### And then, given your active branch, push that same change up to the hosted repo | |
| ### | |
| ### NOTE: You can also specify a different origin, since for aRes' purposes, origin is going to likely be your fork, and not the master arestravelinc/{PROJECT} | |
| ### | |
| git push -f origin {LASTGOODCOMMIT}:{BRANCHTOFIX} |
