git reset --hard HEAD^

HEAD^ means "one before head" and is thus equal to HEAD~1 and means to throw away the most recent commit including all of its changes. If you just want to destroy the commit but keep the files changed remove the --hard switch.

If you intend to push your updated branch back to the remote containing the commit you undid better do not use git-reset as it modifies history. Use git revert HEAD instead. This creates a new commit which reverts all changes from the given commit.
