Commit files went to previous commit [closed]-CodePudding

I made 2 commits B and C and then I did

git reset soft HEAD~2

then I did some some changes and added the modified files back with git add and then I did git commit but these changes went onto the previous commit A. Why is this happening and how can I fix this.

CodePudding user response：

git reset soft will just point HEAD to previous commit but didn't change index location. index will still point to latest commit.

git reset --soft HEAD~2

You should use git reset hard this will move HEAD & index both to previous commit.

git reset --hard HEAD~2
