How to revert a pushed commit at Github?

Command line

https://bitbucket.org/USER/REPO#command-line-scratch

Set up Git on local machine:

Complete walkthrough: https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/cgozDQ

Starting from Scratch

Set up local directory:

mkdir /path/to/project
cd /path/to/project
git init
git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:USERNAME/REPONAME.git

# If filemode is not to be stored in the repo:
git config core.filemode false

Create first file, commit and push:

touch .gitignore
git add .gitignore
git commit -m 'Initial commit with .gitignore'
git push -u origin master

Starting from existing project

Push it:

cd /path/to/my/repo
git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:USER/REPO.git
git push -u origin --all # pushes up the repo and its refs for the first time
git push -u origin --tags # pushes up any tags

.gitignore

This works and includes ONLY .gitignore and the subdir:

/*
!/.gitignore
!/subdir/

This does NOT work: subdir is NOT versioned:

*
!/.gitignore
!/subdir/

Reason:

An optional prefix ”!” which negates the pattern; any matching file excluded by a previous pattern will become included again. It is not possible to re-include a file if a parent directory of that file is excluded.
