git reset --hard HEAD~2
git push -f

The best advice would be to learn about the git reflog and then you could just reset directly to the commit SHA desired.

well I thought you said you needed to "undo" 2 commits. If it was really 4 then you whould have needed to do it twice or you could have just done `git reset --hard HEAD~4` really tho, learn about the `git reflog` and you could have just reset directly to the sha – cpjolicoeur Nov 25 '13 at 15:50

@JMSAZ2013 , you can read more about reset here http://git-scm.com/blog/2011/07/11/reset.html . Also, you can read progit book - it explains lot more about git. http://git-scm.com/book – Isantipov Nov 25 '13 at 19:46

Use git revert sha1 command. Get the sha1 by running git log. Push after you are done.

You would rollback your local machine, then force a push to github... I'd recommend creating a copy of what you have since the rollback will be destructive. This also assumes the branch you want to rollback is master:

git checkout -b backup_branch # create backup branch
git checkout master # checkout branch to rollback
git reset --hard HEAD~2 # reset to 2 revisions before the HEAD
git push --force origin master # force push to github
