After running git reset HEAD~1, I noticed that actually there was nothing else to do and the commit was fine. Is there a way to revert this command?

Where you on a branch when you ran that, or a detached head?– Jonathan WakelyCommented Jun 5, 2013 at 16:25

You can use:
git reset HEAD@{1}
This uses the last entry in the reflog. See git reflog if you did other things in between.

this worked perfectly. If I used 2 instead of 1, it would go back 2 steps, right?– cahenCommented Jun 6, 2013 at 11:43

2Exactly. Have a look at
git reflogto see which number corresponds to which commit. Have a look atman gitrevisionsfor those kinds of special syntax.– michasCommented Jun 6, 2013 at 12:36 -
You could see the commit id of that commit with git reflog.

Even easier (if you haven't done any other operations):
git reset ORIG_HEAD
ORIG_HEAD is the previous state of HEAD.
More details about HEAD vs. ORIG_HEAD are in the answer to this SO question.
