How to undo last commit [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

I did the following comments

git add /file1/path
git rm /file/path
git commit -m "message"

how do I undo my last commit using git?

Like I don't want to have those files committed.

You've got the answer here, after a 2sec search... ;-) stackoverflow.com/a/927386/1266697 — Jeje Doudou, Oct 10 '13 at 18:55
I'm unhappy with these questions and answers. They're often very vague. Does the user wish to simply undo the git commit (and leave the working tree unmodified?), or do they wish to also revert the working tree? — Aaron McDaid, Aug 30 '14 at 22:47

You want to do:

git reset HEAD~

If you don't want the changes and blow everything away:

git reset --hard HEAD~
