How to escape percent symbol when using it as a command in a FOR loop?-CodePudding

I'm trying to use de git log command result as input to for loop, but seems impossible! I already tried to use %%, ^%, %%%, ^%^%, enableDelayedExpansion and others:

@echo off
for /f %%s in ('git log --reverse --format=%h') do (
  echo git pull
  echo git reset --hard %%s
  pause
)

The git command I need is: git log --reverse --format=%h
