Revert after I pushed to the wrong remote branch

I had one master branch, then decided to work on new feature and created branch for it. After I did some stuff I've pushed it to remote. Then I switched to master and continued work on it made some feature. And the I tried to push it to remote and got message that I have to pull first as far as:

"hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind hint: its remote counterpart."

Inspecting pull gave me info that remote I'm trying to push to contain all changes from "feature" branch. So first guess -- I've pushed to wrong remote branch. But I see featured branch in remotes as well(may be latter I've pushed to right one)

I'm the only one contributor so I have all power to revert anything and etc. What is best strategy to revert remote branch from last push(I use bitbucket)?

If you haven't pulled down the remote changes yet, you can just do a force push:

git push origin +master --force

This will set the state of the remote master branch (and only the master branch, which is what the + is for) to the state that your local branch is in.

If you've already pulled down the changes and merged/rebased then you'll need to get your local branch into the state you want the remote to be in. You can do this with a reset:

git reset --hard <hash of commit you want to be last on master>

Then do the force push.

Assuming that you have already committed all the changes, use the following commands:

git checkout master
git reset --hard <commit_id_you_wish_to_reset_your_master_to>
git push --force origin master
