I want to restore all my files to a commit.
I'm doing:
git checkout commit
on remote server and files are restored
what exactly should i do after it on local and remote?
Do i need to create new branch and merge ?

It depends on what your end goal is, which you didn't state. Can you explain why you think that command isn't enough? – Lasse V. Karlsen Jun 03 '21 at 10:06

Do you want to lose history after that commit, or do you want a new commit at the top of the history, with the state from that older commit? – Lasse V. Karlsen Jun 03 '21 at 10:10

If you want to reset your current branch to some commit, then use:
git reset --hard <some commit hash>
Keep in mind that this will move the entire HEAD to this other commit, thereby wiping out your working directory and stage. Only use this option if you are certain that you really want to do this.

In general, Git commands run locally, on your own computer. If you go with the option I suggested above, you should use a force push to the remote, i.e. `git push --force origin your_branch` – Tim Biegeleisen Jun 03 '21 at 10:15
