Hi,
I fetched a line from the shell's history and accidentally hit enter before editing it. Then I had commited some work that was not completed. Is there a way to get rid of that commit as if it never were there?
Thanks in advance.

If you have committed nothing else in the interim,
git reset HEAD~1

Try: git reset --soft HEAD~1
You could also: git commit --amend ...
when you realy finish the commit.

It is still there. This is the one I want to delete.

Well, it is deleted (not accessible from any ref). It will be purged from the repository at some point after a "git gc".

It is not in the history of any head anymore, so you could consider it deleted. ('git log' does not show this commit)
If you want to prune unreferenced objects, try: git prune

Thank you!
