How can I rollback a git repository to a specific commit?

git reset --hard <old-commit-id>

git push -f <remote-name> <branch-name>

Note: As written in comments below, Using this is dangerous in a collaborative environment: you're rewriting history

  people, do git push -f origin branch. I just had a bad time, because I missed that.

  BEWARE of this ! you will lose all your commits locally, and if you push there will be no way back

  That is not true, you can get the old commits using git reflog
