undo cherry-pick in master branch

Question

I am on master branch, I use cherry-pick merged one commit from another branch:

On master branch, I cherry-pick the commit by:

git cherry-pick -x e89d1

There was no conflicts after cherry-pick. There was no other commits in master branch after this cherry-pick.

Now, I want to undo that cherry-pick, what is the correct way to abort this cherry-pick?

My git version is 2.6.2

Just reset your branch to previous commit:

git reset --hard HEAD~

Cherry-picked commit will remain there but it won't be visible because no branch or tag will point to it.

Eventually it will be removed by git garbage collector.
