I don't see a forum for SC/Git, so if there is let me knnow and I'll move this.
Using VS2019. I accidentally had a large ZIP file in my project folder. When I attempted to push to remote Git failed with "Large file detected".
Now I'm stuck. I deleted the large file, but the commit still shows it. There doesn't seem to be a way to remove it from the commit. I've tried Revert multiple times and that seems to have no effect. I tried a test commit and a test pust. I now seee 4 outgoing commits, including my tests and the original with the ZIP file in it.
I've Googled for the last hour and can't find anyway to undo these commits. The original commit really doesn't have much in it, and I made a backup.
How do I remove the 4 outgoing commits??? There HAS to be a way to undo this mess!!

I tried command line git commads and I get back 'Git not found'. Git is installed and the paths to it are in my environmental variables

This will rollback the last 4 commits back to the staging area (from committed to staged):
git reset --soft HEAD~4
This will rollback the last 4 commits back to the working tree (from committed to unstaged):
git reset --mixed HEAD~4
You could also use --hard if you wanted to just nuke everything back to a point (you'd lose the files rolled back though). Luckily it seems like the problem is still local, so reset should be safe from the perspective of the remote's history.
git revert probably didn't do what you wanted because it doesn't "rollback" in the traditional sense. It creates a new commit that reverts the specified commit but does not alter the history. So if the problem is a file in a commit that's causing an error, that file will still be in the history, still causing the problem.

Other than suggesting re-installing it, I'm not really sure what I could do to help with that. I don't know your system, configuration, etc.

in visual studio 2019, you need to go to "view --> manage git branches" right click the last good commit and select revert -> hard delete. this will delete/remove all commits "above/after" the one you selected. see instructions below. I think they describe the process more accurately.
I am not looking at visual studio right now, so I may have some of the label text wrong but the actions are correct.
The Git experience in Visual Studio 2019 | Microsoft Docs[^]
I have to do this every so often myself. fairly simple process.
I don't muck around with git commands, but some of my friends do. you can do this process either way: gui or command line.
also, you really need to comment your commits well, if you are not doing this. they help identify your commits better. you can always right click a commit in the list and view commit details to be sure.

I have tried this multiple times and it seems to have no effect. All commits are still there... except now the Revert link is disabled for the last good commit. The commit(s) I'm trying to get rid of are still there and when I push, the all are pushed - which errors out

Thanks for the pic. It actually helps.
Yeah, that is both interesting, and frustrating for you, I am sure. I am not entirely sure why this is not working for you.
It is not ideal, but you could copy your current local repo to a temp folder and then create a new branch off of master and copy over your current changes (in the temp folder) and commit and push.
then just delete the "bad/difficult" branch once you successfully pushed your changes to the server and merged to master.
I have done this a couple times in the past and it works. Again, not ideal, but it works.

Well now that I posted, it's fixed! The latest revert seems to have done it

I'm used to take a look with Google streetview first before taking a trip somewhere, but sadly this is not possible in Germany

Americans need to take a huge lesson from this aspect of German culture. We give way too much away for "freebies."

I did just the same in the past years before going to project meetings and had no problems with StreetView at all , at least for Berlin and Köln ... I am confused ...
|
|
|
|
|
You are right Berlin has streetview, but as soon as you click outside the city perimeter ... no streetview 
|
|
|
|
|
I can understand if street view would be done in places of interests, monuments and places of turistical value...
but I live in a residential area near the borders of a 25k people town... can you explain me, what big value would give you a street view of my neighbourhood where you could see my house from the walker perspective?
I am not even german, but I still agree and think that this kind of close sight is not anyone's ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing business.

You have a point, and the Germans too, it is just that I was surprised that streetview is not available in Germany, as in the Netherlands we take it for granted. As with all technology I guess it can be used for good or not so good purposes

I've had enough "fun" with delivery driver fails over the last year and a half, that I think integrating streetview into Doordash, etc would be a killer app. Bonus points if they'd let me add a custom annotation to indicate which door on the building is mine.
Other things I've used it for before include:
Doing virtual drive bys of places I've never been before (including friends/family members new homes) to find visual landmarks to supplement the GPS nav in my handbrain/make sure I'm going to the right driveway without having to slow down to a crawl to try and read house numbers as I go past.
Doing a look around of potential places to move to; checking for anything that the realtor/landlord wouldn't include in pictures because it wasn't flattering.
Answering "is that new"/"didn't there used to be something there" questions by looking at old pictures from a year or five ago.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
