OSTREE-RESET(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the OSTREE RESET(1) page. the NAME here is ostree-reset, and the command you actually type is ostree reset — it resets a ref to a previous commit. it’s giving “undo button but make it refs” energy. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ostree reset  {REF} {REF_TO_RESET_TO}

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Given a commit, this command will reset the ref to a previous specified commit. yep, that’s the whole plot — no cap, no secret extra steps on this page. 🫶

🌸 EXAMPLE 🌸

okay, example time. bestie, watch this little time-travel situation:

$ ostree log my-branch

            commit 67e382b11d213a402a5313e61cbc69dfd5ab93cb07
            Date:  2014-06-12 13:42:54 +0000
                This is the second commit

            commit ce19c41036cc45e49b0cecf6b157523c2105c4de1c

$ ostree log my-branch

            commit ce19c41036cc45e49b0cecf6b157523c2105c4de1c
            Date:  2014-06-12 11:20:08 +0000
                Initial commit

and that’s the reset, bestie — iconic. 😭

that was OSTREE RESET(1) from OSTree — source/version: OSTree, manual page: OSTREE RESET(1), and this page doesn’t list a date, so no date to stamp here. bye bestie! 💜
