Using Source Tree 1.9, there are 5 commits e.g. a-b-c-d-e that are pushed to develop branch and I want to undo pushed commits for "c".
will that affect other commits - a,b,d,e.
How to undo commit done for "c" without affecting other commits.
You cannot undo a pushed commit.
But you can use the reverse commit functionality (right click on the commit and select Reverse Commit). This feature adds another commit on top which is the reverse of the one you selected.
For example:
If you added a line of code, this removes it
If you created a file, this deletes it
If you deleted a file, this restores it

I have a lot of stuff that I want to add to github so I have the desktop version to make local changes. I add everything I have and before I can push it I have to commit to master, problem is I have 1100 changes and I can only commit one at a time if more than one is selected with pretty much any combination of different files but the button remains greyed out if I have more than 1 file selected.
Is there any way in the user interface to reset to a specific commit and skip all local changes? I want to reset to the marked on the picture.
Looks like you want to get rid of uncommited changes. There are two ways to do so:
Right click master, Reset master to this commit, Hard - discard all changes. This will reset you current branch (master) to the selected one (also master in this case) and discard any changes.
Click the trash can on the top right to get rid of all unstaged changes. It appears only if you select the uncommitag changes in the top of the commit graph.
EDIT: Looks like you are in the middle of a merge. In this case, you can also (or maybe even have to) use the Cancel Merge button in the lower right, where the commit button is usually located.
I am using the latest Eclipse + eGit.
I needed to go back and look around at my previous commit so I went to the History tab and right clicked on the previous commit and selected "Checkout".
Now I'd like to go back to the commit I was on before I checked out the old one--but in the History view that commit isnt' there.
58504cb Added feature z
09a2df3 Added feature y, Checked out this commit
988c14b Added feature x
5a76bef Added feature w
When I checked out that commit, the history view looks like this now:
09a2df3 Added feature y
988c14b Added feature x
5a76bef Added feature w
The problem is I don't know the hash for the "Added feature z" commit. How can I get it back?
In the history view, there's a toolbar icon for "Show All Branches and Tags". In this screenshot it's the cyan one on the right-hand side with the arrow branching into two.
If you turn this on, your newest commit should reappear.
I have a repository with some dangling commits:
o (master) commit 3
o commit 2
o
| o (tag: danglings) dangling commit 2
| o dangling commit 1
|/
o commit 1
o initial commit
I have tagged the lastest dangling commit with a tag, to make sure it doesnt get lost, just in case i need it at some point in the future.
However, when viewing that repository in egits history, i dont get the dangling commits. They are simply not shown. When i create a branch that points to dangling commit 2 the two commits including the tag are shown.
How to prevent that? I want to see everything, not only branches in egit's history view.
EDIT: Added a nice screenshot montage:
The first one shows master checked out, and no dangling branch exists. Of course, the dangling commits and the dangling-tag exist!
On the second one i created a branch called dangling that points on the commit tagged with the tag dangling and checked it out.
Note that the view doesn't change (except for the bold written master and the HEAD getting moved) when i check out master on the second picture.
robinst mentions in the comments:
This was simply a bug in EGit and happened only with annotated tags, please see bug 417655 which proposes the fix in org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.history.GitHistoryPage.
Target Egit 3.1
Original answer:
This Egit exercice discusses the History View:
Consider the different button available in this view:
:
That tutorial mentions:
TIP: If you got lost with the different filters and the history doesn’t show what you expect, set it back to show everything.
Therefore make sure that 'Show all branches and tags' (a) is turned on and 'Show all changes in repository' (e) is selected.
Those two buttons should potentially show you all reachable (that is at least tagged) commits.
The "Filtering settings" section of the Egit User Guide is clear:
The next four toggle buttons in the view toolbar control how the displayed commits are filtered with respect to the current input.
The buttons are working as radio buttons, i.e. one of the four buttons must always be down.
If the "Repository" button is down, the commit log is not filtered and shows all commits reachable from the currently checked out branch (or all commits, see below about the "All Branches" action)
If the "Project" button is down, the commit log is filtered to show all commits which affected any of the resources in the project containing the current input
If the "Folder" toggle is down, the commit log is filtered to show all commits which affected any of the resources in the parent folder of the current input
If the "Resource" button is down, the commit log is filtered to show only commits which affected the current input; the view menu item Show > Follow Renames allows to toggle whether renames of the selected resource should be followed by this filter
Note that not all combinations of filter setting and current input are meaningful; for example, if the current input is a project, the "Project" option is in fact the same as the "Resource" option.
But the "All branches" sections add:
This toggle activates the "All Branches" mode.
By default, only those commits are shown in the commit log that can be reached from the currently checked out commit, i.e. the Commit Graph ends with the currently checked out commit and newer commits are not shown.
If this button is down, all commits will be shown in the commit log.
In your case, I am not sure commits are show when referenced by a tag alone.
Only branches make those commits visible.
I have a repository with many branches and I am tying to figure out if a particular commit (with a specific commit message) is in my current branch. I can find the "interesting" commit using the the find box at the bottom of the History view.
I tried following the vertical lines but there is so much line-crossing that I find it really hard to say if the commit is in or not.
Is there a way to see all commits that contributed to a particular branch as a single list?
When you select a commit in the history view, look at the detail area for this commit. After author and committer details, you can see which branches contain the commit (Branches: ...). In case this area is hidden, open the view menu (the triangle) and check Show > Revision Comment.
You can also open the commit in a new window using the context menu and selecting Open in Commit Viewer.
