Available since v0.1.0.

git undo is an undo command which can undo any operation to the commit graph, such as the following:

• Commits.
• Amended commits.
• Merges and rebases (such as if you merged something wrongly and want to try again).
• Checkouts.
• Branch renames, moves, and deletions.

git undo offers a convenient visual interface to browse previous states of the repository and go back in time. See the demo below:

Operations other than those to the commit graph, such as operations which affect the working copy, can't be undone with git undo. See What can't git undo do?, and check the Undo reference table for another solution to your problem. You can also start a new discussion to ask questions.

By default, git undo will offer to undo the last operation. Adding -i/--interactive will make it an interactive program which shows you the previous states of the repository. See the demo for an example.

Use the arrow keys to move forward or backward in time, and find the version of the commit graph you want. Then press enter, and it will show you a list of operations to carry out, which you can either accept or reject:

$ git undo
...select previous state interactively...

git undo is responsible for editing the commit graph. In git-branchless v0.4.0 or later, it can also undo changes to the working copy as long as they were captured in a snapshot, which are created by some git-branchless commands.

Changes to untracked files cannot be undone with git undo.

See the reference table below.

Here are some topics from https://www.git-tower.com/blog/surviving-with-git-videos/, and whether they can be accomplished with git-branchless. The goal is to make most of these effortless with future work.
