How can I return git master branch back?

Question

This is my master branch on gitlab. I want to undo the previous commit as master is not working now.

Using terminal, I should switch to master branch and then:

git revert f23...

This is the pipeline for more information and I want to go back to the arrow:

Well, if you ware going to mask some information from a picture, what's the point if you can read them anyway? You want to `git revert @^^^`? — KamilCuk, Oct 21 '20 at 13:20

@KamilCuk I am not sure what is the best approach. do you recommend something else other than revert? — Sana, Oct 21 '20 at 15:24
I do not believe a "recommendation" is possible - that solely depends on what _you_ want to do - if you want to _revert_ the commit or _reset_ current head to that commit. That's different. — KamilCuk, Oct 21 '20 at 15:25

you can try with

git reset --soft "HEAD~3"

this will remove your first 3 commits. Next you can run:

# remove the staged files
git restore --staged .

# remove the changed files
git checkout -- .

Now do some change and run:

# add your change
git add .

# commit the change
git commit -m "my change"

# force the push and replace the history
git push -f
