git go back to a previous commit

I have the following situation. A commit where my project works. The next commit where something horrible that I can not explain happens. So

badcommit (HEAD->master) How horrible!
goodcommit Here it works

so I did git checkout goodcommit and I got my project working again! (pheew!).

 goodcommit(HEAD) Here it works

So now I want to start from here and forget that horrible experience. I read you can revert a commit. So How can I put master in goodcommit and continue from there?

(I read very complicated answers but I remember it was very simple: a one line command that took the last commit and reverted to the previous one, not -like I read- a series of complicated commands)

You can use following commands,

git log

It will provide you list of your previous commits, copy that long string from the commit, then use

$ git reset --hard <COMMIT -ID>

Example: git reset --hard 6504ab87416af0571ae628511207813f20bb2d2c

That's it.
