How do I revert a pull request?

roi_holtzman

I've made a branch on one machine (call it the 1st machine) and then pushed my commits to the online server. Then I performed a `pull` request from a 2nd machine. On the 2nd machine I only had one master branch. I got that all the changes in my new branch are merged into my master branch. I did not expect this. I wanted to have the new branch on the 2nd machine as well.

I now see that I should have done "fetch" instead of "pull". The question is, how do I invert this pull request?

BTW, I saw the answer here, but I don't see a `Reset...` option when clicking on the last commit of master.

You have to click on the commit you want to reset to, then you should see the option. You can also reset from the command line by using git reset --hard <commit to reset to>, or if you have not pushed your changes back to the remote master, you can use git reset --hard origin/master

In order to see new branches created on the remote you need to do a fetch in order to update your local repository. Doing a pull will not fetch any new branches, it will only fetch changes made on your current branch and then merge it.
