## Answer
The original commit hash (before the amendment) is:
```
37d33fa5f4a0d74ff8ad6292c741c1c7d64dce5f
```
## How to read the reflog
```
e38198b7... HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised ← new (amended) commit
37d33fa5... HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2 ← original commit
031de316... HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
- `HEAD@{0}` shows the **amend** operation, which created the new commit `e38198b7` with the message "Update hello function - revised"
- `HEAD@{1}` is the state just before the amend — the original commit `37d33fa5` with the message "Update hello function v2"
## Useful follow-up commands
Inspect the original commit:
```bash
git show 37d33fa5f4a0d74ff8ad6292c741c1c7d64dce5f
```
If you wanted to undo the amend and restore the original commit:
```bash
git reset --soft 37d33fa5f4a0d74ff8ad6292c741c1c7d64dce5f
```
Note: amended commits are "orphaned" but not deleted — they remain reachable via the reflog until garbage collection runs (typically 90 days by default).
HEAD@{1}
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {"ref": "HEAD@{1}"}
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
```
1d293ea42f12a5bafe7551a15a24c82b890c39d0
```
**How to read the reflog:**
- `HEAD@{0}`: `5b11520...` — the **amended** commit ("Update hello function - revised"), your current HEAD
- `HEAD@{1}`: `1d293ea...` — the **original** commit ("Update hello function v2") before the amend
- `HEAD@{2}`: `ef0fc15...` — the initial commit
**Useful follow-up commands:**
```bash
# Inspect the original commit
git show 1d293ea42f12a5bafe7551a15a24c82b890c39d0
# Compare the original vs amended commit
git diff 1d293ea 5b11520
# Restore the original commit if needed (discards the amend)
git reset --hard 1d293ea42f12a5bafe7551a15a24c82b890c39d0
```
Note: the original commit is now "orphaned" (not reachable from any branch), but it remains recoverable via the reflog until garbage collection runs (typically 90 days by default).
HEAD@{1}
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {"ref": "HEAD@{1}"}
## Answer
The original commit hash is:
```
f1b5d3cdb56c8fe0348edd106d9b594ec66d83de
```
## How to read the reflog
The reflog records every change to `HEAD`, with `HEAD@{0}` being the most recent:
| Reflog entry | What happened |
|---|---|
| `HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised` | The **amended** (new) commit — `bec6fdf...` |
| `HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2` | The **original** commit before amending — `f1b5d3c...` |
| `HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function` | The first commit |
The key clue is the `commit (amend)` label at `HEAD@{0}` — the entry immediately before it (`HEAD@{1}`) is where `HEAD` pointed before the amendment, which is your original commit.
## Useful follow-up commands
Inspect the original commit:
```bash
git show f1b5d3cdb56c8fe0348edd106d9b594ec66d83de
# or equivalently
git show HEAD@{1}
```
If you want to undo the amend entirely and restore the original commit:
```bash
git reset --soft HEAD@{1}
```
Note that the original commit isn't lost after an amend — it's just orphaned (no longer referenced by any branch), and the reflog keeps it recoverable for ~90 days by default before garbage collection.
HEAD@{1}
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {"ref": "HEAD@{1}"}
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`861a652e597bd21100c5e2d3b78685f7cf47fb03`**
## How to read the reflog
- `HEAD@{0}`: `commit (amend): Update hello function - revised` — this is the **new** commit created by `git commit --amend` (`d751570...`)
- `HEAD@{1}`: `commit: Update hello function v2` — this is the **original** commit before the amend (`861a652...`)
- `HEAD@{2}`: the initial commit
## Useful commands
Inspect the original commit:
```bash
git show 861a652e597bd21100c5e2d3b78685f7cf47fb03
```
If you wanted to undo the amend and restore the original commit:
```bash
git reset --soft 861a652e597bd21100c5e2d3b78685f7cf47fb03
# or equivalently
git reset --soft HEAD@{1}
```
Note: amending doesn't delete the old commit—it becomes unreferenced ("dangling") but stays recoverable via the reflog until garbage collection runs.

Structured Output
(raw) {"ref": "HEAD@{1}"}
## Finding the Original Commit Hash
Looking at the reflog, the original (pre-amend) commit hash is:
```
ebfb77883df6c315b4a92fcfc261e39b7fdaf6d2
```
### How to Read the Reflog
| Reflog Entry | Hash | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `e0f71a7e...` | `commit (amend)` — the **new** amended commit ("Update hello function - revised") |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `ebfb7788...` | `commit` — the **original** commit ("Update hello function v2") ✅ |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `0ce965e4...` | The initial commit before that |
### Key Indicators
1. **`HEAD@{0}` shows `commit (amend)`** — this tells you an amendment happened, creating hash `e0f71a7e...`
2. **`HEAD@{1}` is the state just before the amend** — this is where HEAD pointed before you ran `git commit --amend`, so `ebfb7788...` is the original commit
3. The commit message confirms it: "Update hello function v2" matches the original message you mentioned
### Useful Follow-up Commands
```bash
# View the original commit's contents
git show ebfb77883df6c315b4a92fcfc261e39b7fdaf6d2
# Compare the amended commit against the original
git diff ebfb7788 e0f71a7e
# Recover the original commit if needed (undo the amend)
git reset --soft ebfb77883df6c315b4a92fcfc261e39b7fdaf6d2
```
> **Note:** Amended commits aren't lost — the original still exists in the object database and is reachable via reflog until garbage collection runs (typically 90 days by default).

The **original commit hash** before the amendment is:
```
8064c10db061b2bda06d7d1e9210f31da0a2048e
```
## Explanation
Looking at the reflog, you can see the progression:
| Entry | Hash | Action | Message |
|-------|------|--------|---------|
| HEAD@{0} | `cf2e7d2c4c38e90064fbe4705aa1954287c5a1b9` | commit (amend) | Update hello function - revised |
| **HEAD@{1}** | **`8064c10db061b2bda06d7d1e9210f31da0a2048e`** | **commit** | **Update hello function v2** |
| HEAD@{2} | `a4293ee3a0268290c8662ccd7f47d0a1910079c7` | commit (initial) | Add hello function |
**HEAD@{1}** represents the state before the amendment, which contains the original commit with the message "Update hello function v2".
## Verification Commands
You can verify this and see more details:
```bash
# View the reflog
git reflog
# Show the original commit
git show 8064c10db061b2bda06d7d1e9210f31da0a2048e
# Compare the two commits
git diff 8064c10db061b2bda06d7d1e9210f31da0a2048e HEAD
```
The reflog is powerful for recovering lost commits because Git keeps this history even after amendments!

# Finding the Original Commit Hash
Based on the git reflog output provided, here's how to identify the original commit:
## Answer
**The original commit hash is:** `a9be8570235cbe0a2758321839d8c5cc8411aace`
## Explanation
Looking at the reflog entries:
| Entry | Commit Hash | Operation | Message |
|-------|--|--|--|
| HEAD@{0} | `34a4a34f248a70749140a6608bdf0f15ca0f2baa` | amend | Update hello function - revised |
| **HEAD@{1}** | **`a9be8570235cbe0a2758321839d8c5cc8411aace`** | **commit** | **Update hello function v2** |
| HEAD@{2} | `db356f37fc7b15e25b264c0504f83c793e49853d` | initial | Add hello function |
The entry at **HEAD@{1}** shows the commit before the amendment:
- Original message: `Update hello function v2`
- Original hash: `a9be8570235cbe0a2758321839d8c5cc8411aace`
## How to Use This
If you needed to revert to the original commit, you could use:
```bash
git reset a9be8570235cbe0a2758321839d8c5cc8411aace
```
Or view it with:
```bash
git show a9be8570235cbe0a2758321839d8c5cc8411aace

# Finding the Original Commit Hash Before Amendment
## Answer
The **original commit hash** before the amendment is:
```
e671d48168486d961dc0d3c6e6f40b34a6fd89c1
```
## Explanation
Looking at the git reflog, you can trace the history:
| Position | Hash | Action | Message |
|----------|------|--------|---------|
| **HEAD@{0}** | `87a65620cb3a` | commit (amend) | **Update hello function - revised** ← Current (amended) |
| **HEAD@{1}** | `e671d48168486` | commit | **Update hello function v2** ← Original |
| **HEAD@{2}** | `7ea64911f600` | commit (initial) | Add hello function |
When you ran `git commit --amend`, it:
1. Created a **new commit** with the new message (HEAD@{0})
2. The old commit entry still exists in the reflog at HEAD@{1}
## How to View the Original Commit
You can inspect the original commit details:
```bash
git show e671d48168486d961dc0d3c6e6f40b34a6fd89c1
```
Or reference it more conveniently:
```bash
git show HEAD@{1}
```
## To Restore the Original Commit (if needed)
If you want to undo the amendment and go back:
```bash
git reset --soft HEAD@{1}
```
This would revert to the original commit while keeping your working directory changes.

# Finding the Original Commit Hash
## Answer
The **original commit hash** before the amendment is:
```
0fd0eeed0a0fb7667480655866d2ad1545ec099c
```
## Explanation
Looking at the git reflog:
| Entry | Hash | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `a789135d...` | **Current** - amended commit with new message |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `0fd0eeed...` | **Original** - commit before amendment ✓ |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `3a6f1d41...` | Initial commit |
**How to read it:**
- `HEAD@{1}` shows the commit state **before** the amendment
- It has the original message: `"Update hello function v2"`
- This is the hash you need to reference the pre-amended commit
## To Recover the Original Commit
If you need to revert to the original commit:
```bash
# Reset to the original commit
git reset --soft 0fd0eeed0a0fb7667480655866d2ad1545ec099c
# Or create a new branch at that point
git branch old-version 0fd0eeed0a0fb7667480655866d2ad1545ec099c
```
**Key takeaway:** `git reflog` preserves the complete history even after amendments, making it invaluable for recovering lost commits!

## Finding the Pre-Amendment Commit Hash
The original commit hash (before the amend) is:
```
f3af72aee1088af6e79e10afb044ffde66a4ee71
```
### How to Read the Reflog
```
a5beedaf... HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised ← NEW (after amend)
f3af72ae... HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2 ← ORIGINAL (before amend)
ade8791c... HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
| Entry | Hash | What Happened |
|-------|------|---------------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `a5beedaf...` | The **amended** commit (current HEAD) |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `f3af72ae...` | The **original** commit before amending |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `ade8791c...` | The initial commit |
### Key Clues
1. **`HEAD@{0}`** says `commit (amend)` — this is the **new** replacement commit
2. **`HEAD@{1}`** says `commit` — this is the **original** commit that was replaced
The `--amend` flag doesn't truly *modify* a commit — it creates a **new** commit (`a5beedaf...`) and moves HEAD to it. The old commit (`f3af72ae...`) still exists in the object database and is reachable via the reflog.
### Recovering or Inspecting the Original
```bash
# View the original commit
git show f3af72aee1088af6e79e10afb044ffde66a4ee71
# Or using reflog syntax
git show HEAD@{1}
# Restore it (if needed)
git reset --hard f3af72aee1088af6e79e10afb044ffde66a4ee71
```
> **Takeaway**: `git commit --amend` doesn't destroy the old commit — `git reflog` always keeps a trail, making it possible to recover the original.

## Finding the Pre-Amendment Commit Hash
The original commit hash **before** the amendment is:
```
b8c02d28f90651dad19a72c31106936631a1a535
```
This is found at **`HEAD@{1}`** in the reflog.
## Reading the Reflog (Top to Bottom)
```
54128bf HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised ← NEW (amended) commit
b8c02d2 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2 ← ✅ ORIGINAL commit (before amend)
062d693 HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function ← initial commit
```
### How to identify it
| Clue | Detail |
|------|--------|
| **`HEAD@{0}`** says `commit (amend)` | Git labels amended commits explicitly |
| **`HEAD@{1}`** says `commit` | This is the plain, original commit |
| **Message difference** | `"Update hello function v2"` → `"Update hello function - revised"` |
## If You Need to Restore the Original Commit
```bash
# Just view the original commit details
git show b8c02d28f90651dad19a72c31106936631a1a535
# Or undo the amend entirely (reset back to the original)
git reset --soft HEAD@{1}
```
### Key Takeaway
`git commit --amend` **replaces** a commit with a new hash, but the old commit isn't deleted — it lives in the **reflog** (for ~90 days by default). The entry **directly below** the `(amend)` entry is always the original pre-amendment commit.
HEAD@{1}
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {"ref":"HEAD@{1}"}
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`b44b18cea016d4741f7c0676c4fb2e4c20d1189b`**
**How to read the reflog:**
- `HEAD@{0}` — The **current** (amended) commit with message "Update hello function - revised" → `44aeff97`
- `HEAD@{1}` — The **original** commit before the amend with message "Update hello function v2" → `b44b18ce`
- `HEAD@{2}` — The initial commit → `dcb460a1`
The key indicator is `commit (amend)` at `HEAD@{0}`, which tells you that the entry immediately before it (`HEAD@{1}`) holds the **pre-amendment** version of that commit.
**To recover it if needed:**
```bash
# View the original commit
git show b44b18ce
# Or reset back to the original (pre-amend) commit
git reset --hard b44b18ce
```
> **Key takeaway:** `git commit --amend` doesn't truly "edit" a commit — it creates a **new** commit and moves the branch pointer. The old commit still exists in the reflog, which is why `git reflog` is essential for recovery.

## Finding the Original Commit Hash Before Amendment
Looking at the git reflog, I need to identify the commit **before** the amendment was made.
### Reading the Reflog
| Entry | Hash | Action | Message |
|-------|------|--------|---------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `b7dab60` | `commit (amend)` | Update hello function - revised |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `72f8b45` | `commit` | Update hello function v2 |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `26aa5e9` | `commit (initial)` | Add hello function |
### Analysis
- **`HEAD@{0}`** (`b7dab60c`) — This is the **new** (amended) commit with the updated message *"Update hello function - revised"*. This is the **current** state.
- **`HEAD@{1}`** (`72f8b45c`) — This is the **original** commit with the message *"Update hello function v2"*, **before** the amendment replaced it.
- **`HEAD@{2}`** (`26aa5e9`) — This is the initial commit.
### Answer
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
```
72f8b45c29b9f63f3781fc6fb1bba1cba76237be
```
### How It Works
When you run `git commit --amend`, Git doesn't actually *modify* the old commit. Instead, it:
1. Creates a **new** commit (`b7dab60`) that replaces the old one
2. The **old** commit (`72f8b45`) becomes **orphaned** (no branch points to it anymore)
3. However, the reflog **still records** the old commit hash at `HEAD@{1}`
### Recovery (if needed)
If you wanted to **restore** the original commit before the amend, you could run:
```bash
# View the original commit
git show 72f8b45c
# Or reset back to the original (pre-amend) commit
git reset --hard 72f8b45c
```
> **Key takeaway**: `git commit --amend` is **non-destructive** under the hood — the reflog always keeps a reference to the pre-amendment commit, making recovery possible.

## Finding the Original Commit Hash Before Amendment
The original commit hash (before the amend) is:
```
821fb1eecfbace0be7b3fcd0ab1a4b47bef5e983
```
### How to Read the Reflog
```
5e8f0cdc... HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised ← NEW (after amend)
821fb1ee... HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2 ← ORIGINAL (before amend)
74d840d1... HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
| Entry | Hash | What Happened |
|-------|------|---------------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `5e8f0cdc...` | The **amended** commit (current HEAD) |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `821fb1ee...` | The **original** commit before amending |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `74d840d1...` | The initial commit |
### Key Clues
- **`HEAD@{0}`** says `commit (amend)` — this tells you an amend happened, creating a **new** hash (`5e8f0cdc...`).
- **`HEAD@{1}`** says `commit` with the **old message** `"Update hello function v2"` — this is the original commit (`821fb1ee...`) that was replaced.
### How to Recover It
If you need to restore or inspect the original commit:
```bash
# View the original commit
git show 821fb1eecfbace0be7b3fcd0ab1a4b47bef5e983
# Or reset back to it (undo the amend)
git reset --hard 821fb1ee
```
### Why This Works
`git commit --amend` doesn't actually *modify* a commit — it **replaces** it with a new one. The old commit (`821fb1ee...`) still exists in Git's object store and is tracked by the **reflog**, even though no branch points to it anymore. This is why `git reflog` is essential for recovering "lost" commits.

# Finding the Original Commit Hash Before Amendment
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`ffae4fab3a57ef933635b19b427c5caa10168b6e`**
## How to Read the Reflog
The reflog shows HEAD's history in reverse chronological order:
| Reflog Entry | Hash | Action |
|-------------|------|--------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `97e80b32...` | **Current** - The amended commit ("Update hello function - revised") |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `ffae4fab...` | **Original** - The commit before amendment ("Update hello function v2") |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `d53fd60b...` | The initial commit |
The key indicator is the `commit (amend):` label on `HEAD@{0}`, which means the entry directly below it (`HEAD@{1}`) is what HEAD pointed to *before* the amendment took place.
## Recovering the Original Commit
If you need to restore the original commit, you can use:
```bash
# Option 1: Reset to the original commit (destructive)
git reset --hard ffae4fab3a57ef933635b19b427c5caa10168b6e
# Option 2: Check out the original commit to inspect it
git checkout ffae4fab3a57ef933635b19b427c5caa10168b6e
# Option 3: Create a branch from the original commit
git branch original-commit ffae4fab3a57ef933635b19b427c5caa10168b6e
```
> **Note:** The original commit still exists in Git's object database even after amendment, but it becomes unreachable and will eventually be garbage collected (default: ~30 days). Act quickly if you need to recover it!

The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`5f41dcd70aa1b639cfb818cf281588d01d5dde11`**
This is shown in the reflog at `HEAD@{1}` with the original commit message "Update hello function v2". When you ran `git commit --amend`, it created a new commit (`f5ebcbd4...`) at `HEAD@{0}` with the revised message, while the original commit remained in the reflog for recovery.
To restore the original commit, you could run:
```bash
git reset --hard 5f41dcd70aa1b639cfb818cf281588d01d5dde11
```
Or reference it via the reflog:
```bash
git reset --hard HEAD@{1}

The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`1320693c62be2b37a51700652440abb9f9542a5f`**
## Explanation
Looking at the reflog, you can trace what happened:
| Reflog Entry | Hash | Action |
|--------------|------|--------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `adc5ca3...` | The **amended** commit ("Update hello function - revised") |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `1320693...` | The **original** commit ("Update hello function v2") ← **This is what you want** |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `c944d4f...` | The initial commit |
When you run `git commit --amend`, Git creates a **brand new commit** (with a new hash) that replaces the current one. The old commit isn't deleted—it just becomes unreferenced, but the reflog still tracks it.
- `HEAD@{0}` = where HEAD points **now** (the amended version)
- `HEAD@{1}` = where HEAD pointed **before** the amend (the original)
## Recovering the original commit
If you need to restore or inspect the original commit, you can use its hash:
```bash
# View the original commit
git show 1320693c62be2b37a51700652440abb9f9542a5f
# Restore your branch to the original commit (discarding the amend)
git reset --hard 1320693c62be2b37a51700652440abb9f9542a5f
# Or create a new branch from the original
git branch recovered-commit 1320693c62be2b37a51700652440abb9f9542a5f
```
You could also reference it directly with `HEAD@{1}` instead of the full hash.

The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`c716a1f9e613566ba5409fc81fd998cc799b95b0`**
## Explanation
Looking at the reflog, you can trace the history of `HEAD`:
| Reflog Entry | Hash | Description |
|--------------|------|-------------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `8ae43a37...` | The **amended** commit ("Update hello function - revised") |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `c716a1f9...` | The **original** commit ("Update hello function v2") ← this is what you want |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `98a53236...` | The initial commit ("Add hello function") |
When you run `git commit --amend`, Git doesn't actually modify the existing commit—it creates a **brand new commit** and moves `HEAD` to point to it. The old commit still exists in the reflog (and remains accessible until garbage collection).
- `HEAD@{0}` is the current commit (post-amend)
- `HEAD@{1}` is where `HEAD` pointed *before* the amend—your original commit
## Recovering the original commit
If you want to inspect or restore the original commit, you can use:
```bash
# View the original commit's details
git show c716a1f9e613566ba5409fc81fd998cc799b95b0
# Or reference it by reflog position
git show HEAD@{1}
# To completely undo the amend and go back to the original
git reset --hard c716a1f9e613566ba5409fc81fd998cc799b95b0
```
⚠️ **Note:** `git reset --hard` will discard your amended changes, so make sure that's what you want before running it.

The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`fb68c1a18841de65c56df6da8e0eb1bf96986c7b`**
## How to identify it
When you use `git commit --amend`, Git doesn't modify the original commit—it creates a **new** commit and moves `HEAD` to point to it. The original commit becomes "orphaned" but remains recoverable via the reflog.
Reading the reflog from top to bottom:
| Reflog entry | Hash | What happened |
|---|---|---|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `bae9d269...` | The **new** amended commit ("Update hello function - revised") |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `fb68c1a1...` | The **original** commit ("Update hello function v2") ← *what you want* |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `76df1438...` | The initial commit ("Add hello function") |
The `(amend)` label on `HEAD@{0}` tells you that entry is the *result* of the amendment. The commit that existed **just before** the amend is at `HEAD@{1}`, which still carries the old message "Update hello function v2".
## Recovering the original commit
If you want to restore that original commit, you have a few options:
```bash
# View the original commit's contents
git show fb68c1a18841de65c56df6da8e0eb1bf96986c7b
# Reset your branch back to it (discards the amended commit)
git reset --hard fb68c1a18841de65c56df6da8e0eb1bf96986c7b
# Or create a branch pointing to it (safer, keeps both versions)
git branch original-commit fb68c1a18841de65c56df6da8e0eb1bf96986c7b
```
You can also reference it directly with `git reset --hard HEAD@{1}` instead of typing the full hash.
HEAD@{1}

The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`1513c8c4d1bec2d62348e42992c38ae440934c0f`**
## Explanation
Looking at the reflog, here's what happened:
| Reflog Entry | Hash | Action |
|--------------|------|--------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `f24294525ac0...` | The **amended** commit — "Update hello function - revised" |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `1513c8c4d1be...` | The **original** commit — "Update hello function v2" |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `fc31d155c779...` | The initial commit — "Add hello function" |
When you run `git commit --amend`, Git creates a **new** commit object (`f2429452...`) that replaces the previous one. The old commit isn't deleted immediately — it's still referenced in the reflog as `HEAD@{1}`.
## How to recover it
If you want to restore or reference the original commit:
```bash
# View the original commit
git show 1513c8c4d1bec2d62348e42992c38ae440934c0f
# Reset back to the original (undoing the amend)
git reset --hard 1513c8c4d1bec2d62348e42992c38ae440934c0f
# Or reference it via reflog directly
git reset --hard HEAD@{1}
```
> ⚠️ **Note:** Reflog entries are local to your repository and are eventually garbage-collected (default ~90 days), so recover it promptly if needed.

The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`c2879ac315035b68dfdca659b59d97e24a9bd2a2`**
## Explanation
Looking at the reflog, here's what happened:
| Reflog Entry | Hash | Action |
|--------------|------|--------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `15c2a3b...` | The **amended** commit (`Update hello function - revised`) |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `c2879ac...` | The **original** commit (`Update hello function v2`) ← *what you want* |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `90ed3a3...` | The initial commit (`Add hello function`) |
When you run `git commit --amend`, Git creates a **new commit** that replaces the previous one. The old commit isn't deleted—it becomes unreferenced but is still tracked in the reflog.
- `HEAD@{0}` is the new (amended) commit that `HEAD` currently points to.
- `HEAD@{1}` is where `HEAD` was **before** the amend—this is your original commit.
## Recovering the original commit
If you need to restore the original commit, you can use the hash or the reflog reference:
```bash
# View the original commit's contents
git show c2879ac315035b68dfdca659b59d97e24a9bd2a2
# Or reset back to it (careful—this moves your branch)
git reset --hard HEAD@{1}
# Or create a branch pointing to it (safer)
git branch recovered-commit c2879ac315035b68dfdca659b59d97e24a9bd2a2
```

## Finding the Original Commit Hash
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
```
81aaa96a4041a99d0e8057dfafc29492bf4e2364
```
## How to Identify It
Looking at the reflog, here's the breakdown:
| Reflog Entry | Hash | Action | Message |
|-------------|------|--------|---------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `8217b2d...` | commit **(amend)** | Update hello function - revised |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `81aaa96...` | commit | Update hello function **v2** |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `0737434...` | commit (initial) | Add hello function |
**Key indicators:**
1. **`HEAD@{0}`** is the *current* state — the `(amend)` label and the new message "Update hello function - revised" tell you this is the amended commit.
2. **`HEAD@{1}`** is what you're looking for — it has the **original message** "Update hello function v2" and is the entry immediately before the amend operation.
## Recovering the Original Commit
If you need to restore or inspect the pre-amendment commit:
```bash
# Inspect the original commit
git show 81aaa96a4041a99d0e8057dfafc29492bf4e2364
# Or reference it via reflog
git show HEAD@{1}
# To move your branch back to the original commit (undo the amend)
git reset --hard 81aaa96a4041a99d0e8057dfafc29492bf4e2364
```
> ⚠️ **Note:** `git reset --hard` will discard the amended changes. If you want to keep both states, consider `git branch backup-original 81aaa96` first to preserve the original commit on a new branch.

# Inspect the original commit details
git show f399ecdbbbafd6d9d46df74b9a3eb6c442140319
# View just the commit message
git log --oneline f399ecdbbbafd6d9d46df74b9a3eb6c442140319 -1
# Output: f399ecd Update hello function v2
```
### How to Restore the Original Commit (If Needed)
```bash
# Option 1: Reset back to the original commit
git reset --hard f399ecdbbbafd6d9d46df74b9a3eb6c442140319
# Option 2: Create a new branch pointing to the original commit

### Key Takeaway
> `git commit --amend` **replaces** the commit with a new hash. The original
> commit (`f399ecd`) is **not deleted immediately** — it becomes a dangling
> commit recoverable via `git reflog` until garbage collection runs (`git gc`).

### Answer
```
The original commit hash is: 2940f270c9c7aada544ce8de4b1c4f83b021c26a
Referenced as: HEAD@{1}
```
### Why This is the Correct Hash
| Entry | Hash | Event | Message |
|-------|------|-------|---------|
| HEAD@{0} | `434c90fd` | commit (amend) | Update hello function - **revised** ← Current |
| **HEAD@{1}** | **`2940f270`** | **commit** | **Update hello function v2** ← **Original** |
| HEAD@{2} | `cadd3903` | commit (initial) | Add hello function |
### Verifying the Original Commit
```bash
# Inspect the original commit details
git show 2940f270c9c7aada544ce8de4b1c4f83b021c26a
# Or using the reflog reference
git show HEAD@{1}
# Compare original vs amended
git diff 2940f270c9c7aada544ce8de4b1c4f83b021c26a 434c90fd41173e72e4efd9486d0befe35034a629
```
### How to Restore the Original Commit (if needed)
```bash
# Option 1: Reset back to original commit (keeps working directory changes)
git reset --soft 2940f270c9c7aada544ce8de4b1c4f83b021c26a
# Option 2: Create a new branch pointing to the original commit
git branch recovered-original 2940f270c9c7aada544ce8de4b1c4f83b021c26a
```
### Key Concept
```
git commit --amend does NOT modify the original commit.
It creates a BRAND NEW commit object and moves HEAD to point to it.
The original commit still exists and is safely stored in the reflog.
```

The reflog shows:
```
a49763726bfa8e8f75a1cbe8d019c736b462ebed HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
7d3c68f2ed1bc74618247ce6a70fbc5483901f48 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
fc32541db050465f4db338f7f23ece19cc4450cd HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
- **HEAD@{0}** — the current state, after the amend (message: "Update hello function - revised")
- **HEAD@{1}** — the state *right before* the amend, with the original message "Update hello function v2"
- **HEAD@{2}** — the very first commit
## Answer
The original commit hash (before amendment) is:
```
7d3c68f2ed1bc74618247ce6a70fbc5483901f48
```
This is the commit that was replaced when you ran `git commit --amend`. You can verify this by checking it out or inspecting it directly:
```bash
git show 7d3c68f2ed1bc74618247ce6a70fbc5483901f48
```
If you ever need to recover this commit (e.g., you amended by mistake), you could reset back to it with:
```bash
git reset --hard 7d3c68f2ed1bc74618247ce6a70fbc5483901f48
```
⚠️ Note: This commit still exists in Git's object database (thanks to the reflog) even though it's no longer referenced by any branch — but it will eventually be garbage collected if not referenced, typically after 30-90 days depending on your git gc settings.
HEAD@{1}
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {"ref": "HEAD@{1}"}
The original commit hash (before the amend) is:
**2a06332019b850f1724443e30396f58b0555deee** — corresponding to `HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2`
This is the commit that existed before you ran `git commit --amend`, which created the new commit `a11d7f8497c86fa76a041818c40d001998c01ece` ("Update hello function - revised") at `HEAD@{0}`.
If you need to recover that original commit (e.g., you want to undo the amend), you can run:
```bash
git reset --hard 2a06332019b850f1724443e30396f58b0555deee
```
Or check it out without moving branch pointers:
```bash
git checkout 2a06332019b850f1724443e30396f58b0555deee
```
HEAD@{1}
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {"ref":"HEAD@{1}"}
Based on the git reflog output, the original commit hash before the amendment is found at **HEAD@{1}**, which shows the commit with the message "Update hello function v2":
```
28853f4bd4ab1b1ee7f760fba681c16f125f2dab
```
**Explanation:**
- `HEAD@{0}` — This is the current state after the amend: commit `ae53fde8...` with message "Update hello function - revised"
- `HEAD@{1}` — This is the **original commit** before the amend: `28853f4b...` with message "Update hello function v2"
- `HEAD@{2}` — This is the initial commit before either of the above
When you run `git commit --amend`, Git doesn't delete the old commit — it creates a new commit object and moves the branch pointer to it. The old commit still exists in Git's object database (until garbage collected), and the reflog keeps a record of it.
**To recover or inspect the original commit:**
```bash
git show 28853f4bd4ab1b1ee7f760fba681c16f125f2dab
```
**If you wanted to undo the amend and go back to that original commit:**
```bash
git reset --hard 28853f4bd4ab1b1ee7f760fba681c16f125f2dab
```
⚠️ Note: Reflog entries are only kept locally and expire after a period of time (default 90 days for reachable commits), so this method only works for relatively recent amendments on your local repository.
HEAD@{1}
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {"ref": "HEAD@{1}"}
Looking at the reflog, I need to find the commit that existed **before** the amend operation occurred.
## Analysis
```
33631f8ffbec484b5a21e82e5d4b6f294bc3c1b1 HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
7281c5776b2cc988754e388e6c3260cccd9effe9 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
c16c42fdab38ccab16a4511e75d03059e4bff078 HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
- **HEAD@{0}** → the new commit created by `--amend` ("Update hello function - revised")
- **HEAD@{1}** → the original commit **before** the amend, with the message "Update hello function v2"
- **HEAD@{2}** → the initial commit before that
## Answer
The original commit hash (before amending) is:
```
7281c5776b2cc988754e388e6c3260cccd9effe9
```
This is `HEAD@{1}` — it was the commit checked out right before you ran `git commit --amend`, and it still has the old message "Update hello function v2".
## How to recover it (if needed)
If you wanted to restore or inspect that old commit:
```bash
# View the old commit's details
git show 7281c5776b2cc988754e388e6c3260cccd9effe9
# Reset your branch back to the pre-amend state
git reset --hard 7281c5776b2cc988754e388e6c3260cccd9effe9
# Or just check out the old commit content into a new branch
git checkout -b recover-old-commit 7281c5776b2cc988754e388e6c3260cccd9effe9
```
Note: The commit `7281c5776b2cc988754e388e6c3260cccd9effe9` still exists in Git's object database even though no branch points to it directly — it will remain accessible via the reflog until garbage collection removes it (typically after 90 days by default).

# Finding the Original Commit Before Amendment
Looking at the reflog, I can trace what happened:
```
623a875be77ff6ca97583357058e3aff9cac005e HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
2f42a076d7c91bfeba9c33af652e313d396d165d HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
f289dde58ea8c47c8cf94dc48750fc0c2ec4a130 HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
## Answer
**The original commit hash is:**
```
2f42a076d7c91bfeba9c33af652e313d396d165d
```
## Explanation
- **HEAD@{0}** — `623a875...` — This is the **current** commit, created by the `--amend` operation. It replaced the previous commit and carries the new message "Update hello function - revised".
- **HEAD@{1}** — `2f42a07...` — This is the **original commit** you're looking for. It was made with the message "Update hello function v2" — this is the commit that existed *before* you ran `git commit --amend`.
- **HEAD@{2}** — `f289dde...` — This is the initial commit, unrelated to the amend operation.
## How to Recover/Inspect It
If you need to actually recover that old commit (e.g., to compare diffs or restore it), you can:
```bash
# View the old commit's details
git show 2f42a076d7c91bfeba9c33af652e313d396d165d
# Compare the old commit to the amended one
git diff 2f42a076d7c91bfeba9c33af652e313d396d165d 623a875be77ff6ca97583357058e3aff9cac005e
# If you want to reset back to the pre-amend state
git reset --hard 2f42a076d7c91bfeba9c33af652e313d396d165d
```
⚠️ Note: Since amended commits are no longer referenced by any branch, they'll eventually be garbage collected (default ~90 days) unless referenced again — so recover it soon if needed!
HEAD@{1}
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {"ref": "HEAD@{1}"}
The original commit hash before the amendment is **`e5afebed5fa32ef8df5409247d860fa315122900`**.
This is found at `HEAD@{1}` in the reflog, which represents the commit state just before the `git commit --amend` operation. The reflog entry shows it had the original message "Update hello function v2".
The original commit hash before the amendment is **482aa2456ad93b3184ca0bcc650f98bc8d105b17**.
This is found in the reflog at `HEAD@{1}`, which represents the commit that was amended (the one with the message "Update hello function v2"). The `HEAD@{0}` entry shows the amended commit with the new message.
The original commit hash before the amendment is **23bcad74ea747772f33883f0dd8811c704d464a1**.

The original commit hash before the amendment is **66baec79cab892dbec213c6988670e78c34fc354**. This corresponds to the reflog entry `HEAD@{1}` with the message "Update hello function v2".
Based on the provided`git reflog`, the original commit hash before the amendment is:
**30f06cb6956c304b20fe74d82c866bba289450eb**
### Explanation:
1. **HEAD@{0}** shows the amended commit (`Update hello function - revised`).
2. **HEAD@{1}** shows the original commit (`Update hello function v2`) *before* the amendment.
3. **HEAD@{2}** shows the initial commit (`Add hello function`).
The amended commit (HEAD@{0}) references the original commit (HEAD@{1}) as its predecessor. Therefore, the hash from **HEAD@{1}** is the original commit hash you need.
HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {
"ref": "HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2"
}
Based on the provided `git reflog`, the original commit hash before the amendment is:
**a09e53ea034f077632ab75e3cf2d200a1079972a**
Here's why:
1. **HEAD@{0}** shows the amended commit: `commit (amend): Update hello function - revised`
2. **HEAD@{1}** shows the commit *before* the amendment: `commit: Update hello function v2`
3. The hash `a09e53ea034f077632ab75e3cf2d200a1079972a` is the original commit hash.
You can use this hash to reference the original commit, for example:
* `git checkout a09e53ea034f077632ab75e3cf2d200a1079972a` to view it.
* `git reset --hard a09e53ea034f077632ab75e3cf2d200a1079972a` to revert to it.

}
To find the original commit hash before the amendment, you can look at the `git reflog` output you provided. The reflog shows a chronological history of the state of the HEAD in your repository.
Here is the relevant part of your `git reflog`:
```
9fd8a8bb66d7f14... : commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
d8dcdd774d066e5... : commit: Update hello function v2
cdf0887100452fa... : commit (initial): Add hello function
```
The second entry, `d8dcdd774d066e5...`, corresponds to the commit with the original message "Update hello function v2". This is the commit hash you were looking for before the amendment was made. Therefore, the original commit hash before the amendment is `d8dcdd774d066e5d2d5454282a85c1e61a3cc998`.
You can retrieve the original commit using:
```bash
git show d8dcdd774d066e5d2d5454282a85c1e61a3cc998
```
or checkout that commit to verify:
```bash
git checkout d8dcdd774d066e5d2d5454282a85c1e61a3cc998
```
The original commit hash before the amendment is `d1df456c786edf12a928a141bb70393d781a09c05`.
To explain: In the git reflog provided, each entry represents an action taken in the repository. The entry `HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2` corresponds to the commit that was amended with `git commit --amend`. Git reflog records all the state of the repository as it changes, so before the amend (which is `HEAD@{0}`), the previous commit SHA-1 was indeed `d1df456c786edf12a928a141bb70393d781a09c05`. This reflects the original commit before the message was changed to "Update hello function - revised".
Thus, `d1df456c786edf12a928a141bb70393d781a09c05` is the hash you would use to revert to the state before the amend, if needed.

The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**6e0b17fd538121d36bed5b0b2e51ce9728efc876**
### Explanation:
From the `git reflog`:
- `HEAD@{0}`: This is the amended commit — "Update hello function - revised".
- `HEAD@{1}`: This is the **original commit** — "Update hello function v2", with hash:
`6e0b17fd538121d36bed5b0b2e51ce9728efc876`
- `HEAD@{2}`: The initial commit ("Add hello function").
So, the commit hash before the `--amend` was:
```
6e0b17fd538121d36bed5b0b2e51ce9728efc876
```
To find the **original commit hash** before you amended it using `git commit --amend`, you can use the `git reflog`. The `reflog` records all changes to the `HEAD` pointer, including commits that were made by amending.
From your output:
```
d1f77c13f969d22c2cfc4dbe747782db5063c73b HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
1626bb625256a4856392bf6abe81869d2d0c6ffc HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
a558fce3e7d32a0188407212409d796ac99b6e9d HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
### Step-by-step:
- `HEAD@{0}` is the **amended commit** (`Update hello function - revised`)
- `HEAD@{1}` is the **previous commit** before the amend (`Update hello function v2`)
So, the **original commit hash before the amendment** is:
```
1626bb625256a4856392bf6abe81869d2d0c6ffc
```
This is the hash of the commit that was replaced by the amend.

### Bonus Tip:
If you want to reset your branch back to this commit after finding it:
```bash
git reset --hard 1626bb625256a4856392bf6abe81869d2d0c6ffc
```
Let me know if you'd like help with anything else related to Git!
The reflog shows that the *previous* HEAD (the one you amended) is at **HEAD@{1}**.
Its full SHA‑1 is:
```
d51f44b0d51dd39118f810fccf8f1a3cad7c37fe
```
That commit had the original message “Update hello function v2”.
You can also retrieve it directly with:
```bash
git rev-parse HEAD@{1}
```
If you need to reference the old commit (e.g., to view it or diff against it), use that hash.
The original commit (the one you amended) is the entry right before the amend entry:
```
HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
So the hash you’re looking for is:
**7c9dfba9c061e4a0402d6c7f91e03ce77802a8af**
You can also retrieve it directly with:
```bash
git rev-parse HEAD@{1}
```
or view its contents with:
```bash
git show HEAD@{1}

5456b697c55c03ec3f1615d9d0bd64cb764a6a97
```
You can verify it with:
```bash
git show 5456b697c55c03ec3f1615d9d0bd64cb764a6a97
# or
git log --oneline 5456b697c55c03ec3f1615d9d0bd64cb764a6a97 -1
```
If you need to recover that state you can reset to it:
```bash
git reset --hard 5456b697c55c03ec3f1615d9d0bd64cb764a6a97
```
(Just be aware that this will discard the amended commit and any subsequent changes.)

```
8e24be7748bc61c6ec66cdf85daee779f6e0cb15 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
So the original commit (the one you amended) is:
**Old commit hash:** `8e24be7748bc61c6ec66cdf85daee779f6e0cb15`
You can verify it with:
```bash

```
1feb570e7303522b35b519171a749c4018cfc239
```
You can verify it, e.g.:
```bash
git show 1feb570e7303522b35b519171a749c4018cfc239
```
If you need to return the repository to that state, you can reset to it:
```bash

# Finding the Original Commit Hash
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
```
bc12090472547e17ca63063115b4bf968ad85030
```
## Explanation
Looking at the reflog, you can trace the commit history:
| Reflog Entry | Hash | Action |
|---|---|---|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `1cd42c5...` | **amended** commit (current) |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `bc12090...` | ✅ **original** commit (before amend) |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `0d1b8d2...` | initial commit |
The original commit `bc12090472547e17ca63063115b4bf968ad85030` corresponds to the entry `HEAD@{1}`, which shows `commit: Update hello function v2` — matching the original message before it was changed to "Update hello function - revised".
## Useful Commands
To verify or use this hash:
```bash
# View the original commit details
git show bc12090472547e17ca63063115b4bf968ad85030
# If you need to recover/revert the amendment, you can reset back to the original
git reset --soft bc12090472547e17ca63063115b4bf968ad85030
# Compare the original and amended commits
git diff bc12090472547e17ca63063115b4bf968ad85030 1cd42c549bda22c3e8ca0516653b4c978140b287
```
## Why Reflog Works Here
`git commit --amend` doesn't actually modify the existing commit — it creates a **new commit** with a new hash, and the reflog preserves the old one. This is why the original `bc12090...` is still recoverable, as long as it hasn't been garbage collected (reflog entries typically expire after 90 days by default).

# Finding the Original Commit Hash Before Amendment
Based on the provided git reflog, the original commit hash before the amendment is:
## **`ea0f2b158334441f7a12b5b6d174e0e0bc9346a1`**
## How to Identify It
Looking at the reflog entries, you can trace the history:
| Reflog Entry | Commit Hash | Action |
|---|---|---|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `9fa155e051c8e883e036dfb3468953ee4a4737d3` | **amend**: Update hello function - revised |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `ea0f2b158334441f7a12b5b6d174e0e0bc9346a1` | **commit**: Update hello function v2 ← *original* |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `e500426e17f62c65dc4e99d4a916dd5c5ded2f90` | **initial**: Add hello function |
## Explanation
1. **`HEAD@{0}`** shows the most recent action — the amended commit. Note the `(amend)` tag and the new message "Update hello function - revised". This is commit `9fa155e...`.
2. **`HEAD@{1}`** shows the **previous state** of HEAD, which is the commit *before* the amendment. The message "Update hello function v2" matches the original message. This is commit `ea0f2b1...`.
3. The hash changed from `ea0f2b1...` → `9fa155e...` because amending creates an entirely new commit object (different parent, tree, and timestamp).
## Useful Commands
```bash
# View the original commit details
git show ea0f2b158334441f7a12b5b6d174e0e0bc9346a1
# View the full reflog to see context
git reflog
# If you need to recover the old commit (e.g., reset back to it)
git reset --hard ea0f2b158334441f7a12b5b6d174e0e0bc9346a1
```
💡 **Tip:** Git reflog entries are kept for 90 days by default (or per `gc.reflogExpire`), so you have a safety window to recover from amendments and resets.

# Finding the Original Commit Hash Before Amendment
## Analysis of the Reflog
Looking at your git reflog, the entry at `HEAD@{1}` represents the commit **before** the amendment:
```
920e8b3cb4106bf73619c385454c4fd83d0a3afb HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
5e75222b718c00806593b8af1f932809b661a175 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2 ← Original commit
cb7203587755a8a6f7cb022ee614fe29a6a60db0 HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
## Original Commit Hash
```
5e75222b718c00806593b8af1f932809b661a175
```
## Why This Is the Original
When you run `git commit --amend`, git:
1. **Creates a brand new commit object** with a new hash (`920e8b3...`)
2. **Keeps the old commit object** in the reflog temporarily (accessible via `HEAD@{1}`)
3. **Moves the branch pointer** to the new commit
The old commit is only retained in the reflog (not in any ref like `HEAD`, `main`, etc.) and will eventually be garbage collected.
## Useful Commands
| Task | Command |
|------|---------|
| Show original commit details | `git show 5e75222b718c00806593b8af1f932809b661a175` |
| Show original diff | `git show 5e75222b718c00806593b8af1f932809b661a175~1..5e75222b718c00806593b8af1f932809b661a175` |
| Reference by reflog position | `git show HEAD@{1}` |
| Compare old vs amended | `git diff 5e75222b718c00806593b8af1f932809b661a175 920e8b3cb4106bf73619c385454c4fd83d0a3afb` |
## Recovering the Original (If Needed)
If you need to restore the original commit, you can use the reflog to reset:
```bash
# Reset the current branch to the original commit
git reset --hard 5e75222b718c00806593b8af1f932809b661a175
```
Or create a new branch pointing to the original commit to preserve both:
```bash
git branch original-version 5e75222b718c00806593b8af1f932809b661a175
```
⚠️ **Note**: The reflog is only retained for ~90 days by default (configurable via `gc.reflogExpire`), so act quickly if you need the original.

# Finding the Original Commit Hash
Looking at the git reflog entries, I need to identify the commit that was amended.
## Analysis of Reflog Entries
| Position | Hash | Action | Message |
|----------|------|--------|---------|
| HEAD@{0} | `c2953ce1607df1d188363bfb35e3b51c96ff63c0` | commit (amend) | Update hello function - revised |
| HEAD@{1} | `8d17548362b0724b10f4d023a6ac139addc977e2` | commit | Update hello function v2 |
| HEAD@{2} | `f6c023494e0ecd7847e7bc018578135dcc7aa8cb` | commit (initial) | Add hello function |
## Original Commit Hash
The original commit hash is:
```
8d17548362b0724b10f4d023a6ac139addc977e2
```
## Reasoning
- The `HEAD@{0}` entry (`c2953ce...`) is the **amended** version with the new message "Update hello function - revised"
- The `HEAD@{1}` entry (`8d175483...`) is the **original** commit with the message "Update hello function v2" — this matches the message that was changed *from*
- When `git commit --amend` is used, it creates a new commit (new hash) and the old one moves down one position in the reflog
## Recovery Commands
If you need to inspect or restore the original commit:
```bash
# View the original commit
git show 8d17548362b0724b10f4d023a6ac139addc977e2
# Reset back to the original (DESTRUCTIVE - discards amend)
git reset --hard 8d17548362b0724b10f4d023a6ac139addc977e2
# Create a new commit on top with the original content
git reset 8d17548362b0724b10f4d023a6ac139addc977e2
git commit -m "Update hello function v2"
```
HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
JSON Schema

```
This is the commit with the message "Update hello function v2" (HEAD@{1}), which was amended to become "Update hello function - revised" (HEAD@{0}).
The reflog shows the history of HEAD movements, and in this case, the amendment operation replaced the previous commit (03f6629...) with the new amended commit (411723f...).

To find the original commit hash before the amendment, you need to look at the `git reflog` entries. The `git reflog` shows a history of actions performed on the HEAD of your repository, including commits and amendments. When a commit is amended, the original commit is replaced by a new one, but both commits are still recorded in the reflog.
In the provided `git reflog`, the most recent action (HEAD@{0}) is the amended commit with the new message. The action immediately before that (HEAD@{1}) is the original commit with the old message. Therefore, the hash of the original commit is found at HEAD@{1}.
The original commit hash is:

To find the original commit hash before the amendment, look at the git reflog provided. The reflog shows the history of HEAD movements, with each entry representing the state of HEAD at a certain point in time. When you use `git commit --amend`, it creates a new commit and replaces the old one, but the old commit's hash can still be found in the reflog.
In the given reflog:
- `HEAD@{0}` is the latest change, which is the amended commit with the new message 'Update hello function - revised'.
- `HEAD@{1}` is the state of HEAD before the amendment, which corresponds to the commit with the old message 'Update hello function v2'.
Therefore, the original commit hash before the amendment is the hash at `HEAD@{1}`.
The original commit hash is: **f089502543a28da9d6a3541d27bc05cbb971f406**.
HEAD@{1}
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {"ref": "HEAD@{1}"}
To find the original commit hash before the amendment, look at the `git reflog` output. The amended commit is at `HEAD@{0}`. The **previous state of `HEAD` (before the amend)** is at `HEAD@{1}`, which corresponds to the original commit with the message **'Update hello function v2'**.
The hash for `HEAD@{1}` is:
```
06f204fb56d513a9e5ecb3978ca3f91c15bd0723
```
### Answer:
The original commit hash before the amendment is **`06f204fb56d513a9e5ecb3978ca3f91c15bd0723`**.
This is the commit you can reference (e.g., with `git show 06f204fb56d513a9e5ecb3978ca3f91c15bd0723`) to recover the pre-amended version.

- **`HEAD@{0}`** refers to the amended commit (`Update hello function - revised`).
- **`HEAD@{1}`** refers to the **original commit before amending** (`Update hello function v2`).
The commit hash for `HEAD@{1}` is **`87a9711a96d4c65862ecc40175c07618911dca1d`**, which is the original commit.
### Answer:
The old commit hash before the amendment is:

The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`03401b104501c168937d8a989d7165206a4b263d`**
### Explanation
In the reflog, `HEAD@{0}` is the current amended commit with the new message "Update hello function - revised".
`HEAD@{1}` is the state of HEAD immediately before the amend operation, which contains the original commit with the message "Update hello function v2".
So the original commit hash is:
```text
03401b104501c168937d8a989d7165206a4b263d
```
### Quick verification
You can also view the original commit directly to confirm:
```bash
git show 03401b104501c168937d8a989d7165206a4b263d
```
Or if you need to recover/reset to it:
```bash
git reset 03401b104501c168937d8a989d7165206a4b263d
```

The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`0ebe2662d8356de698eb9819d5720a243f3be40f`**
In the reflog, `HEAD@{1}` shows the state right before the amend operation (`HEAD@{0}`). The commit at `HEAD@{1}` still has the original message **"Update hello function v2"**, which matches the commit that was amended.
HEAD@{1}
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {"ref":"HEAD@{1}"}
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`c2516d3ac226c13a191df96efd9e93fc8cf80a5a`**
This is found at **`HEAD@{1}`** in the reflog, which shows the previous state of `HEAD` before the amend operation:
```
c2516d3ac226c13a191df96efd9e93fc8cf80a5a HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
The amended commit is at `HEAD@{0}` (`a503f159...`), but `HEAD@{1}` points to the original commit with the old message *"Update hello function v2"*. You can use this hash to compare changes, cherry-pick it, or reset back to it if needed.
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`423d8f4bfa609aae19f92f3ab5dbf7cc9b309d7e`**
### Explanation
In the reflog, the most recent entry (`HEAD@{0}`) is the **amended** commit:
```
807a15b94f33b5d3809cc07dc70ffb755ec9d53a HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
```
The next entry (`HEAD@{1}`) is the **original** commit before it was amended:
```
423d8f4bfa609aae19f92f3ab5dbf7cc9b309d7e HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
Because `git commit --amend` creates a new commit that replaces the previous one, the old commit remains accessible in the reflog for a period of time (default is 90 days for reachable commits). So if you need to recover or inspect the original commit, you can use:
```bash
git show 423d8f4bfa609aae19f92f3ab5dbf7cc9b309d7e
```
If you wanted to undo the amend and go back to the original commit, you could also do:
```bash
git reset --soft 423d8f4bfa609aae19f92f3ab5dbf7cc9b309d7e
```
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`40983efe8d7b1176936d351fe63298f415230676`**
In the reflog:
```
40983efe8d7b1176936d351fe63298f415230676 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
That `HEAD@{1}` line is the state before the amend. The `HEAD@{0}` line (`3f51400a...`) is the amended commit.
The original commit hash (before the amend) is the one on the previous `HEAD@{1}` line:
**`288cdcba3fffba07b47aee023954cd54cf406642`**
```text
3afb6c816957c4a5fc3b2238eb73fb4250153d23 HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
288cdcba3fffba07b47aee023954cd54cf406642 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
You can use it to view or recover the pre-amend commit, e.g.:
- `git show 288cdcba3fffba07b47aee023954cd54cf406642`
- `git checkout 288cdcba3fffba07b47aee023954cd54cf406642`
- `git reset --hard 288cdcba3fffba07b47aee023954cd54cf406642`

e6905e3b6f96b88ed960c63521310a7cdb042349 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
`HEAD@{0}` is the amended commit, and `HEAD@{1}` is the original commit with the message **“Update hello function v2.”**
If you want to restore it, you could run:
```bash
git reset --hard e6905e3b6f96b88ed960c63521310a7cdb042349
```
Or simply:
```bash
git reset --hard HEAD@{1}
```
HEAD@{1}

## Original commit hash: `86aa1542f035485f1ae970c49327d8075c2291c5`
### How to read the reflog
The reflog is in reverse chronological order (newest first):
| Entry | Hash | Meaning |
|-------|------|---------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `6e550c15...` | The **new** amended commit ("revised") — current HEAD |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `86aa1542...` | The **original** commit ("v2") that was replaced by the amend |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `8bf886dc...` | The initial commit |
The entry labeled `commit (amend)` at `HEAD@{0}` is the replacement commit, so the entry immediately below it (`HEAD@{1}`) with the message **"Update hello function v2"** is the pre-amend version you're looking for.
### Useful follow-up commands
```bash
# View the old commit's contents
git show 86aa1542f035485f1ae970c49327d8075c2291c5
# See what the amend actually changed
git diff 86aa1542f035485f1ae970c49327d8075c2291c5 HEAD
# Restore the original commit (undoes the amend)
git reset --hard 86aa1542f035485f1ae970c49327d8075c2291c5
```
Note that even after amending, the old commit object still exists in the repository until garbage collection runs, which is why the reflog can recover it.
## Original commit hash: `1195159dee7936931a0f397d9d752628d806b3ca`
**How to read the reflog:**
| Reflog Entry | Hash | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `05b0350...` | The **new** amended commit ("Update hello function - revised") — current HEAD |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `1195159...` | The **original** commit before the amend ("Update hello function v2") ← this is what you want |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `8774bf1...` | The initial commit ("Add hello function") |
When you run `git commit --amend`, Git doesn't modify the commit in place — it creates a brand-new commit object (`05b0350`) and moves HEAD to it. The old commit (`1195159`) still exists in the object database and remains reachable via the reflog (typically for 90 days).
**Useful follow-up commands:**
```bash
# View the original commit's contents
git show 1195159dee7936931a0f397d9d752628d806b3ca
# Compare original vs. amended version
git diff 1195159dee7936931a0f397d9d752628d806b3ca 05b035080c5535de9740ca22a3e1d5c750a86831
# Restore the original commit (undo the amend)
git reset --hard 1195159dee7936931a0f397d9d752628d806b3ca
```
⚠️ Note: If the amended commit was already pushed and shared with others, use `git reset --soft` or create a new commit instead of rewriting history, to avoid disrupting collaborators.
## Original commit hash: `1694f3a2774a32ec56c57898489b2c332bcfa3a3`
### How to read the reflog
The reflog is ordered with the most recent action at the top (`HEAD@{0}`), so you read it backward in time:
| Reflog Entry | Hash | Action |
|---|---|---|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `1a892da...` | The **amended** commit ("Update hello function - revised") |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `1694f3a2...` | The **original** commit before amending ("Update hello function v2") ← this one |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `42317df0...` | The initial commit |
### Key insight
The entry labeled `commit (amend)` at `HEAD@{0}` is the *new* commit that replaced the old one. The entry immediately below it — `HEAD@{1}` with the original message "Update hello function v2" — is the pre-amendment commit you're looking for.
### If you need to recover it
```bash
# View the original commit's contents
git show 1694f3a2774a32ec56c57898489b2c332bcfa3a3
# Restore the branch to the original commit (undoing the amend)
git reset --hard 1694f3a2774a32ec56c57898489b2c332bcfa3a3
```
Note that even though the amended commit replaced the original in the branch history, the original commit object still exists in the repository (typically for 30+ days by default) and remains reachable via the reflog until garbage collection runs.
## Original commit hash: `601763997e3527d279d75578acc8f1ab44beda89`
## How to read the reflog
Reflog entries are listed **most recent first**, so reading top to bottom you're going backward in time:
| Entry | Hash | Meaning |
|-------|------|---------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `b7c0a68...` | The **new** amended commit ("Update hello function - revised") |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `6017639...` | The **original** commit before amending ("Update hello function v2") ✅ |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `9982d13...` | The initial commit |
The key is the `commit (amend)` action at `HEAD@{0}` — when you amend, Git creates a *new* commit object and moves HEAD to it. The entry immediately below it (`HEAD@{1}`) is the commit that was replaced, which matches the old message "Update hello function v2".
## If you need to restore the original
```bash
# Reset the branch back to the pre-amendment commit
git reset --hard 601763997e3527d279d75578acc8f1ab44beda89
# Or equivalently, using the reflog reference
git reset --hard HEAD@{1}
```
If you just want to inspect it without changing anything:
```bash
git show 6017639
```
Note that the reflog is local and entries expire (default 90 days for reachable, 30 days for unreachable entries), so recovery is possible now but not guaranteed forever.
# Original Commit Hash
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
```
4428a99605597cabf178070189edba72886b96c9
```
## How to Read This from the Reflog
The reflog entries tell the story:
| Entry | Action | Meaning |
|-------|--------|---------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `commit (amend)` | The **new** amended commit (`a06fbfa...`) — current HEAD |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `commit` | The **original** commit (`4428a99...`) with message "Update hello function v2" |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `commit (initial)` | The first commit in the repo |
Two clues confirm `4428a99...` is the original:
1. **The `(amend)` annotation** on `HEAD@{0}` tells you an amend operation created the current commit, so the entry immediately below it (`HEAD@{1}`) is what HEAD pointed to *before* the amend.
2. **The message match** — `HEAD@{1}` has the original message "Update hello function v2", while `HEAD@{0}` has the revised message.
## Recovering the Original (if needed)
Even though the amend "replaced" the commit, the old commit object still exists in Git's object database:
```bash
# Inspect the original commit
git show 4428a99605597cabf178070189edba72886b96c9
# Restore the branch to the original commit
git reset --hard 4428a99605597cabf178070189edba72886b96c9
```
Note that orphaned commits like this remain recoverable until Git's garbage collection expires them (default: 30 days for unreachable commits).
## Original commit hash: `ee19b786674f1edbc08703e75321d14d84b707bc`
**How to read the reflog:**
The reflog lists HEAD movements in reverse chronological order (newest first):
- `HEAD@{0}` — the **amended** commit (`7509ebd...`) with the new message "Update hello function - revised"
- `HEAD@{1}` — the **original commit before amending** (`ee19b78...`) with the old message "Update hello function v2" ← this is what you're looking for
- `HEAD@{2}` — the initial commit
You can identify the original commit by matching the old commit message (`Update hello function v2`) with its hash.
**Recovering the original commit (if needed):**
```bash
# Restore your branch to the pre-amend state
git reset --hard ee19b786674f1edbc08703e75321d14d84b707bc
# Or just inspect it first
git show ee19b786674f1edbc08703e75321d14d84b707bc
```
Note that `--amend` doesn't modify the commit in place — it creates a *new* commit object and moves the branch pointer. The old commit still exists in the object database until garbage collection runs, which is why the reflog can find it.
## Original commit hash
The original commit before the amendment is:
```
a932138825ce8a411768979b7b3feea05c20f32f
```
## How to read the reflog
`git commit --amend` doesn't modify the old commit — it creates a **new commit object** and moves the branch pointer to it. The old commit still exists in the object database, and the reflog records both:
| Reflog entry | Hash | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `a940d41...` | The **new** amended commit ("Update hello function - revised") — note the `commit (amend)` action |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `a932138...` | The **original** commit ("Update hello function v2") — this is what you're looking for |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `818d089...` | The initial commit |
The pattern: the entry labeled `commit (amend)` is the replacement, and the entry **immediately below it** (with the matching pre-amend message) is the original.
## If you need to recover the original
To verify its contents:
```bash
git show a932138825ce8a411768979b7b3feea05c20f32f
```
To undo the amend and restore the branch to the original commit:
```bash
git reset --hard a932138825ce8a411768979b7b3feea05c20f32f
```
(Use `git reset --soft` instead if you want to keep the amended changes staged rather than discarding them.)
## Original Commit Hash
The original commit before the amendment is:
```
c9b9d9325be11d0197b3ddab1400f300d8e90907
```
## How to Read the Reflog
Each reflog entry shows where HEAD pointed, with `HEAD@{0}` being the most recent state:
| Entry | Hash | Meaning |
|-------|------|---------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `b1f1f63...` | The **new** amended commit ("Update hello function - revised") |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `c9b9d93...` | The **original** commit before amending ("Update hello function v2") |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `efe09be...` | The initial commit |
The key is the `commit (amend)` action at `HEAD@{0}` — the entry directly *below* it (`HEAD@{1}`) shows the commit that was replaced.
## Why the Old Commit Still Exists
`git commit --amend` doesn't modify the original commit — it creates an entirely new commit object and moves the branch pointer to it. The old commit becomes "orphaned" but remains in Git's object database, recoverable via the reflog.
## Useful Follow-up Commands
```bash
# View the original commit's contents
git show c9b9d9325be11d0197b3ddab1400f300d8e90907
# Compare the original vs. amended versions
git diff c9b9d93 b1f1f63
# Restore the original commit (undo the amend)
git reset --hard c9b9d93
```
## Original commit hash: `41a3516ca24eb66dfd134c7b6c16b9904657e95e`
(short form: `41a3516`)
### How to read the reflog
The reflog lists entries from newest to oldest, so reading top to bottom:
| Entry | Hash | Meaning |
|-------|------|---------|
| `HEAD@{0}` | `a0a9b3b` | The **amended** commit ("Update hello function - revised") |
| `HEAD@{1}` | `41a3516` | The **original** commit before amending ("Update hello function v2") ✅ |
| `HEAD@{2}` | `06fa703` | The initial commit |
The entry labeled `commit (amend)` at `HEAD@{0}` created the new hash `a0a9b3b`, and the entry immediately below it (`HEAD@{1}`) is what HEAD pointed to just before — that's your pre-amend commit.
### Useful follow-up commands
```bash
# Inspect the original commit
git show 41a3516
# See what the amend changed
git diff 41a3516 a0a9b3b
# Restore the original commit (if the amend was a mistake)
git reset --hard 41a3516
```
Note that amending rewrites the commit, so the original `41a3516` no longer appears in `git log` — the reflog is the only place it survives (until it expires, typically after 90 days).
## Original commit hash: `27e077eddeb0edcbb5ae6ab999cea028a7f37824`
### How to read the reflog
The reflog reads newest-first (HEAD@{0} is the most recent action):
| Reflog Entry | Hash | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| HEAD@{0} | `6d1ce94...` | The **new** amended commit ("Update hello function - revised") |
| HEAD@{1} | `27e077e...` | The **original** commit before amending ("Update hello function v2") |
| HEAD@{2} | `0c4eb3a...` | The initial commit ("Add hello function") |
When you run `git commit --amend`, Git doesn't modify the existing commit — it creates a brand new commit object with a new hash and moves HEAD to it. The entry just below the `commit (amend)` line is the pre-amend state, and you can confirm it by the matching old message: **"Update hello function v2"**.
### Recovering the original commit (if needed)
The old commit still exists in the object database, so you can restore it:
```bash
# Move your branch back to the original commit (discards the amended version)
git reset --hard 27e077eddeb0edcbb5ae6ab999cea028a7f37824
```
Or inspect it first before deciding:
```bash
git show 27e077eddeb0edcbb5ae6ab999cea028a7f37824
```
**Note:** If you've already pushed the amended commit, you'll need `git push --force-with-lease` after resetting, since the branch history has diverged from the remote.
The commit right **before** you performed the `--amend` is recorded in Git’s reflog as the entry one step earlier:
```
HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
So the SHA‑1 (or abbreviated hash) for that original commit is:
```
b54485432fff4db33bed46fad0abca374384058d
```
You can inspect it directly with:
```bash
git reflog --oneline
# or, to see only the commit hash:
git reflog --format=%h | head -1
```
That will give you `b54485432fff4db33bed46fad0abca374384058d`.
If you navigate back to that commit, you can view its message (`Update hello function v2`) or reclaim the old version before the amendment.

}
**Original (pre‑amend) commit hash:** `b5b84b98b12acd3f57b9803f7019b629988d45db`
In the reflog you posted:
```
HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
That entry is the commit that existed *before* you ran `git commit --amend`. When you amend, Git moves `HEAD` to a new commit (the amended one) and records the previous `HEAD` as `HEAD@{1}` – exactly the commit you’re looking for.
So you can recover the old hash by:
```bash
git reflog show HEAD@{1}
```
or simply note the SHA‑1 shown at `HEAD@{1}` in the output, which is the one above. If you need to reference it later, you can check it out with:
```bash
git checkout b5b84b98b12acd3f57b9803f7019b629988d45db
```
(Or, if you just need to reference it in a command, use the short‑hand `HEAD@{1}`.)

JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {
"ref": "8967bd360a1a65f97876d7bf0bbb30a8abc90630"
}
The commit that was **amended** is recorded in the reflog entry right before the current HEAD entry:
```
HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
The SHA‑1 hash shown there is the original commit:
```
2b310d3ef0e6a4a539aae0c47db2541f3b8c9ea6
```
So, the **old commit hash** you’re after is:
```
2b310d3ef0e6a4a539aae0c47db2541f3b8c9ea6
```
You can double‑check with:
```bash
git reflog --oneline | grep Update\ hello\ function
```
or more directly:
```bash
git reflog --format="%H %s" HEAD@{1}
```
Both commands will print the same hash (`2b310d3ef0e6a4a539aae0c47db2541f3b8c9ea6`). Once you have the hash, you can refer to it explicitly (e.g., `git show 2b310d3ef0e6a4a539aae0c47db2541f3b8c9ea6`).

Based on your `.git reflog` output, the original commit hash (before the amendment) is explicitly shown in the second entry:
```
e46dcce6fa5cba93a3747f00f06c076aa93aff24 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
### Explanation:
- The `:HEAD@{1}` reference specifically points to the **commit immediately before the amendment**.
- The commit message on that line (`Update hello function v2`) matches the original message mentioned in your question.
- The amendment added `revised` to the message (changing `v2` → `- revised`), so the hash `e46dcce6fa5cba93a3747f00f06c076aa93aff24` is the exact commit you're looking for.
### Why this is the answer:
- Git stores each commit as a unique commit hash (e.g., `e46dcce6fa5cba93a3747f00f06c076aa93aff24`).
- When you run `git commit --amend`, Git creates a **new commit** with a new hash (the first line in your reflog: `ec7c607fe73f0e130c45dc16c24cf79cbfde5aa6`), while **keeping the old commit** (the one shown in `:HEAD@{1}`).
### Actionable Steps:
1. To see the full commit details (including the original message), run:
```bash
git show e46dcce6fa5cba93a3747f00f06c076aa93aff24
```
This will display the commit with the message `Update hello function v2`.
2. To restore the original commit (if needed), you could reset to it (but **only do this if you understand the implications**):
```bash
git reset --hard e46dcce6fa5cba93a3747f00f06c076aa93aff24
```
### Summary:
> **Original commit hash: `e46dcce6fa5cba93a3747f00f06c076aa93aff24`**
> (Found at `:HEAD@{1}` in your reflog, with the original message `Update hello function v2`).

The original commit (the one that was later amended) is recorded at **`HEAD@{1}`** in the reflog, with the hash:
```
4eeb444e2b882dc1f6a05b9097ba383cb9d64581
```
So you can recover that commit with:
```bash
git show 4eeb444e2b882dc1f6a05b9097ba383cb9d64581

Based on the provided `git reflog` output, the **original commit hash before the amendment** is:
**`bf052709d2bcfd82de6433e2a014005d0aa481b6`**
### Why?
- The reflog shows the history of where `HEAD` has pointed.
- **`HEAD@{0}`** is the *current state* (after the `git commit --amend`):
`commit (amend): Update hello function - revised`
- **`HEAD@{1}`** is the state *immediately before* the amend operation:
`commit: Update hello function v2`
This matches the **original commit message** you mentioned (`Update hello function v2`).
### Key Notes:
- When you run `git commit --amend`, Git:
1. Creates a **new commit** (with the amended message, now at `HEAD@{0}`).
2. The **original commit** becomes "detached" (no branch points to it directly) but is **preserved in the reflog** for 90 days by default (as `HEAD@{1}` here).
- To verify or recover the original commit, you can use:
```bash
git show bf052709d2bcfd82de6433e2a014005d0aa481b6
```
or reset to it (if needed) with:
```bash
git reset --hard bf052709d2bcfd82de6433e2a014005d0aa481b6
```
> 💡 **Tip**: The reflog is your safety net for recovering lost commits after actions like `amend`, `reset`, or `rebase`. Always check `git reflog` first if you think you’ve lost work!
HEAD@{1}
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {
"ref": "HEAD@{1}"
}
To find the original commit hash before the amendment, you can look at the `git reflog` output provided. The reflog shows a history of where HEAD has pointed, and each line corresponds to a change in the commit history.
From the reflog:
```
0c9ae103e42c853b3fb22eca570d2407d48e3b40 HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
378f91656a521ac73c4c41067da10b442b670d75 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
7d4001c6848f0626c7eb0cd3146d4db4b00db626 HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
- `HEAD@{0}` is the current state after the `git commit --amend`: the amended commit with message "Update hello function - revised" and hash `0c9ae10...`.
- `HEAD@{1}` is the state *before* the amend: the original commit with message "Update hello function v2" and hash `378f916...`.
- `HEAD@{2}` is an even earlier commit (the initial commit).
Therefore, the **original commit hash before the amendment** is:
```
378f91656a521ac73c4c41067da10b442b670d75
```
This is the commit that was rewritten by `git commit --amend`.
### Answer:

JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {"ref": "dcffb7d2127d2e641d93859234ff423a6197e58c"}
The original commit hash before the `git commit --amend` operation is **`13df207367d72adedf507e8a0fead15b7983abac`**.
### Explanation:
- After `git commit --amend`, Git creates a **new commit** (replacing the old one) and updates `HEAD` to point to this new commit.
- The **original commit** (before the amend) is still preserved in the reflog and appears as the **previous state** (`HEAD@{1}`).
- In your provided reflog:
- `HEAD@{0}`: Current state (amended commit: `Update hello function - revised`)
- **`HEAD@{1}`: Original state (before amend: `Update hello function v2`)** → **This is the commit you're looking for.**
- `HEAD@{2}`: Earlier commit (`Add hello function`).
### Verification:
- The commit message at `HEAD@{1}` matches the original message you described: `Update hello function v2`.
- The hash `13df207367d72adedf507e8a0fead15b7983abac` corresponds to this entry.
### Why not others?
- `HEAD@{0}` is the *amended* commit (new hash: `ef3eed1768e5cba39f2ae9cb8ad138532844294c`).
- `HEAD@{2}` is two commits back (initial commit), not relevant here.
You can verify this directly with:
```bash
git show 13df207367d72adedf507e8a0fead15b7983abac
```
This will display the original commit details (message: `Update hello function v2`).

The original commit is the entry **right before** the amend – `HEAD@{1}`.
From the reflog you posted:
```
4797ba2ef213f6f6a39576b5acd2cfeefe383ae5 HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
6238188ad496a77a7450d1262009ecfcdfa9ad7b HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
dd39843721a8e1b325403cc06d0e92783f2a2cad HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
**Original (pre‑amend) hash:**
```
6238188ad496a77a7450d1262009ecfcdfa9ad7b
```
### Quick ways to retrieve it
```bash
# Show the hash directly
git rev-parse HEAD@{1}
# Or view the full commit details
git show HEAD@{1}
```
If you need to go back to that commit (e.g., to undo the amend), you can reset:
```bash
# Hard reset the branch to the original commit
git reset --hard 6238188ad496a77a7450d1262009ecfcdfa9ad7b
```
Or create a new branch pointing at it:
```bash
git checkout -b before-amend 6238188ad496a77a7450d1262009ecfcdfa9ad7b
```
That hash (`6238188ad496a77a7450d1262009ecfcdfa9ad7b`) is the commit you had before you ran `git commit --amend`.
The commit you had **before** you ran `git commit --amend` is the one shown at `HEAD@{1}` in the reflog:
**Original commit hash:** `aa4b21d20a1d8cb399241af5452885b35b24d9fc`
6d00335d37d87a2457d9818e351e67fe5d555ed8
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {
"ref": "6d00335d37d87a2457d9818e351e67fe5d555ed8"
}
The commit that existed **before** you ran `git commit --amend` is the one listed at `HEAD@{1}` in the reflog:
```
HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
The hash shown for that entry is:
**`2dec17a031cee0e5456d6d03abda1359d4ca6c0d`**
So the original (pre‑amend) commit hash you’re looking for is:
```
2dec17a031cee0e5456d6d03abda1359d4ca6c0d
```
git reflog shows the history of where HEAD has pointed. After an `--amend` the previous version of the commit is recorded as the entry right before the amend (HEAD@{1}). In the reflog you posted:
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {
"ref": "git reflog shows the history of where HEAD has pointed. After an `--amend` the previous version of the commit is recorded as the entry right before the amend (HEAD@{1}). In the reflog you posted:"
}
**Result**
The commit that existed **before** you ran `git commit --amend` is:
```
99a8dcce927d48b6b22f559b7ec7ff8529d916d5
```
That hash corresponds to the entry in the reflog:
```
HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
---
## How to retrieve it yourself
You can let Git show you the exact hash (or any other entry) with the reflog command:
```bash
# Show the reflog with the short hash for each entry
git reflog --oneline
```
You’ll see something like:
```
630b85a HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
99a8dcc HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
d9d7722 HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
If you want just the hash for the *previous* HEAD (the one you’re looking for), you can ask Git directly:
```bash
# Resolve HEAD@{1} to its full SHA‑1
git rev-parse HEAD@{1}
# → 99a8dcce927d48b6b22f559b7ec7ff8529d916d5
```
Or, to copy it straight to the clipboard (on macOS or Linux with `xclip`/`pbcopy`):
```bash
git rev-parse HEAD@{1} | pbcopy # macOS
# or
git rev-parse HEAD@{1} | xclip -selection clipboard # Linux
```

## Quick sanity‑check
You can verify that the old commit indeed contains the original message:
```bash
git show 99a8dcce927d48b6b22f559b7ec7ff8529d916d5 --pretty=oneline
```
The output should start with something like:
```
99a8dcc... Update hello function v2
```
That confirms you’ve got the right pre‑amend commit.

The original commit hash is the one shown at `HEAD@{1}` in the reflog – that’s the state *before* you ran the amend.
```
git reflog
# → 7f792ef… HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
# → 2cec74e… HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2 ← original
# → 2787a70… HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
So the original commit hash is:
```
2cec74e34131288aff82198dd3344870a47423f4
```
You can refer to it directly as `HEAD@{1}` or recover it with:
```bash
git rev-parse HEAD@{1}
```
git reflog shows the original commit at HEAD@{1}. The hash is:
```
463ec979feec1ee369c95a5209129e66975648a1
```
This was the commit with the message “Update hello function v2” before it was amended to “Update hello function - revised.”

When you run `git commit --amend`, Git really creates a **new** commit and then moves the current branch name (HEAD) to point at that new commit. The old commit—the one that represented the state before the amendment—is still recorded in the reflog.
In the reflog output you have:
```
f2534ad3ee5f95b50223f62f34622f2b26aa003c HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
69658a7b2bc777aae45e40681dd27819e2f0f68e HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
b1c83a2fbe198d8708c3d131943ef1f23505418d HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
- `HEAD@{0}` is the current commit (your amended one).
- `HEAD@{1}` is the previous position of HEAD, i.e., the *original* commit before you ran `git commit --amend`.
So the original commit hash you’re looking for is:
```
69658a7b2bc777aae45e40681dd27819e2f0f68e
```
You can check it with:
```bash
git show 69658a7b2bc777aae45e40681dd27819e2f0f68e
```
or refer to it later with `HEAD@{1}`.

After you run `git commit --amend`, Git rewrites the current tip and the old commit is preserved in the reflog.
Look at the reflog entry **just before** the amend entry:
```
git reflog
1793b32bf2e4ed55426a32d7fc950ec898fda6d9 HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
3ec6bbc49d33d6c912386651777a95b72c01e672 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
0702a1b0965193ed492b8ae93c8bd19d9e57374b HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
The commit you amended (`Update hello function v2`) is the one at `HEAD@{1}`.
Its hash is:
```
3ec6bbc49d33d6c912386651777a95b72c01e672
```
So the original commit hash before you amended it is **`3ec6bbc49d33d6c912386651777a95b72c01e672`**.

You can find it in the reflog entry that sits just before the amended commit.
In the reflog you provided:
```
4d216a2a81dcd261b3fad2e3532e1535fc0f53ff HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
ab3a3e6265131666d4f591458de5e36786a4b557 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
```
The entry **HEAD@{1}** is the commit you amended.
So the original commit hash is:
```
ab3a3e6265131666d4f591458de5e36786a4b557
```
You can verify it with:
```bash
git show ab3a3e6265131666d4f591458de5e36786a4b557
```
Or directly inspect that reflog entry:
```bash
git reflog show HEAD@{1}
```
That gives you the exact contents of the pre‑amend commit.
The original commit hash before the amendment is **1f872da8bd99d7bbcd4e1661385439e59c26b468**, which appears as `HEAD@{1}` in the reflog. This corresponds to the commit message "Update hello function v2" prior to being amended.
To verify or retrieve this hash, you can use:
```bash
git reflog show HEAD
```
or directly reference it with:
```bash
git show HEAD@{1}
```

To find the original commit hash before the amendment, you can use `git reflog` to look up the commit that preceded the amended one. Here's how to do it:
1. **Run `git reflog`** to view the history of HEAD changes:
```bash
git reflog
```
2. **Identify the commit before the amend** by looking for the entry just before `HEAD@{0}` (the current commit):
```text
# Output:
713d935cfaf920a7b9e7bd77e9eac6f07e1e82b9 HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
42d80b83aa36d7a4b57ad601094beee417cfe21d HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
...
```
- The original commit (before amendment) is at `HEAD@{1}`, with the hash **42d80b83aa36d7a4b57ad601094beee417cfe21d**.
3. **Verify the original commit** (optional):
```bash
git show 42d80b83aa36d7a4b57ad601094beee417cfe21d
```
This will show the original commit with the message "Update hello function v2".

To find the original commit hash **before** the amendment, use the **Git reflog** to identify the commit that immediately precedes the amended one. Here's the step-by-step explanation:
1. **Git reflog**: This command shows the history of changes to the `HEAD` pointer, including commits, checkouts, and resets.
- The most recent entry (HEAD@{0}) is the **amended commit** with the updated message `Update hello function - revised` and hash `61d37c0`.
- The entry before that (HEAD@{1}) is the **original commit** with the message `Update hello function v2` and hash `7592abbd`.
2. **Conclusion**:
The original commit hash **before the amend** is `7592abbd9446168fdfaea6a942bdf12a253bb42e` (HEAD@{1} in the reflog).
### Answer
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
`7592abbd9446168fdfaea6a942bdf12a253bb42e` (HEAD@{1}).
This is the commit whose message was `Update hello function v2`, which was modified by the `git commit --amend` operation.
To find the original commit hash before the amendment, we use `git reflog` to view the commit history. Each entry in the reflog corresponds to a previous HEAD state, starting from the most recent (`HEAD@{0}`). The amended commit updates the current HEAD to a new hash, while the previous commit (before amendment) is recorded as `HEAD@{1}`.
**Steps:**
1. Identify the most recent entry (`HEAD@{0}`), which shows the amended commit message.
2. Check the previous entry (`HEAD@{1}`), which contains the original commit before the amendment.
**Answer:** The original commit hash is `51dca045dac4807d12a42c976051a7672eb77094`.
**Command to retrieve it:**
```bash
git reflog show | grep -A1 'HEAD@{0}' | tail -n1 | awk '{print $1}'
```
This command extracts the hash from `HEAD@{1}`. Alternatively, directly use:
```bash
git show 51dca045dac4807d12a42c976051a7672eb77094
```
git reflog command and its output analysis shows the original commit hash before amendment was 73f1c3736cba08501db5f7cce440806192e4e27a. The amended commit is at HEAD@{0}, and the previous state is at HEAD@{1}, which contains the original commit message and hash.

}
To find the original commit hash before the amendment, you can use the `git reflog` command to look at the previous commit before the amend. Here's how to do it step by step:
### Command:
```bash
git reflog
```
### Output Explanation:
From the provided reflog output:
```
10fe0425131bba539206040b6db3adc67f293bcc HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised

f51af9aa1445d250bf2a12ab2c7d35618ee999c9 HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
- **`HEAD@{0}`** is the most recent action (the amended commit) with the new message.
- **`HEAD@{1}`** is the original commit before the amendment, which contains the message "Update hello function v2".
### Original Commit Hash:
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
```
0385aac9c87a95b538b2ed881e1f15754f962ca0
```
You can also retrieve it directly using:
```bash
git rev-parse HEAD@{1}
```

The original commit hash before the amendment is **`f75cd1989029f990bf77a68619385f5d4d53540a`**.
### Explanation:
When you use `git commit --amend`, it creates a new commit that replaces the original one. The reflog (`git reflog`) keeps a record of these changes. In the provided reflog:
- `HEAD@{0}` shows the **new amended commit** (`efb4c996...`) with the updated message.
- `HEAD@{1}` shows the **original commit** (`f75cd198...`) before the amendment, which still has the message `"Update hello function v2"`.
Thus, `f75cd1989029f990bf77a68619385f5d4d53540a` is the hash you're looking for.

The original commit hash before the amendment was **3a67133b2772752eb4865c3c9d165e4ae6cadd0d**.
Here's how to find it using the reflog:
1. **View the reflog:** Run `git reflog` to see a log of updates to `HEAD`.
2. **Identify the relevant entries:**
* `HEAD@{0}` is the most recent action, which is the `commit (amend)` you just did. The hash `7db37566984e7a16874c34291b766f925d660523` corresponds to the *new* state after the amendment.
* `HEAD@{1}` is the action that happened just before the amend. The entry `commit: Update hello function v2` shows the *original* commit. The hash `3a67133b2772752eb4865c3c9d165e4ae6cadd0d` is the hash of that original commit.
So, to find the original commit hash, you look at the reflog entry immediately preceding the `commit (amend)` entry. In this case, that's `HEAD@{1}`, which points to the original commit hash `3a67133b2772752eb4865c3c9d165e4ae6cadd0d`.

The original commit hash before the amendment is **03a20193c5b05d41f6771ba53eac0501ff111032**.
Here's how it was determined:
1. **Git reflog entries** show the history of `HEAD` movements:
- `HEAD@{0}` is the latest state after the amend (new message).
- `HEAD@{1}` corresponds to the **original commit** before the amend (message: "Update hello function v2").
2. When you use `git commit --amend`, the original commit is replaced by a new one, but the old commit hash remains in the reflog under the previous entry (`HEAD@{1}`).
To confirm, you could run:
```bash
git show 03a20193c5b05d41f6771ba53eac0501ff111032
```
This will display the original commit details with the message "Update hello function v2".

The original commit hash is `487e30edb10104d8a159a3864231088b79dc481c`.
**How to identify it:**
In `git reflog`, `HEAD@{0}` represents the current state (the amended commit), while `HEAD@{1}` represents the state immediately before the last action. Since `HEAD@{1}` shows the original commit message (`Update hello function v2`), its corresponding hash is the pre-amendment commit.
HEAD@{1}
JSON Schema
Structured Output
(raw) {
"ref": "HEAD@{1}"
}
When `git commit --amend` is used, it creates a new commit with a new hash, but the original commit remains in the history for a short period (governed by `gc.pruneExpire`). The `git reflog` tracks all updates to the `HEAD` pointer, including those made by `--amend`.
In the provided reflog:
- `HEAD@{0}` shows the **new** commit after the amend: `e19e706332e81388c84fa3977f191ea40a711e15`
- `HEAD@{1}` shows the **previous** state before the amend, which is the original commit: `92c4478ec62b54347534dde12355e220004e6d5e`
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
```

}
The original commit hash is:
`f373aae780264b2ef72b0b16c01c1bee292c1e6b`
**How to read it from the reflog:**
- `HEAD@{0}` is your current state right after the amend (new message: `Update hello function - revised`)
- `HEAD@{1}` is the state immediately before the amend (old message: `Update hello function v2`)
So, the hash at `HEAD@{1}` is the one you're looking for.
Based on the reflog provided, the original commit hash before the amendment is:
**15d3a47544c53605f1105d006acf7da3c04667a1**
This is found in `HEAD@{1}`, which is the state of `HEAD` before the `commit (amend)` operation recorded in `HEAD@{0}`.
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
`dd842d361e1db848021c233737808caa6539e29a`
**Why:** In your reflog, `HEAD@{1}` represents the state right before the amend operation. It shows the original commit message `"Update hello function v2"`, which directly matches what you described. `HEAD@{0}` is the newly amended commit.
To find the original commit hash before the amendment, we need to look at the `git reflog output provided:
- `HEAD@{0}`: The most recent state, which is the **amended** commit with message `"Update hello function - revised"` and hash `cc9d157a4f3735560553608830e4c8d2fafc38d6`.
- `HEAD@{1}`: The state **before** the amendment, which is the original commit with message `"Update hello function v2"` and hash `df607fd1d6759e27c6b990cda964035bca7e5d2b`.
- `HEAD@{2}`: An earlier commit, `"Add hello function"`, which is not relevant here.
Since you amended the commit that had the message `"Update hello function v2"`, the original commit hash is the one listed at `HEAD@{1}`.
**Original commit hash:**
`df607fd1d6759e27c6b990cda964035bca7e5d2b`
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
`ba5c89b6dae4ffd3794b31d3de4fa9d175064a98`
This corresponds to `HEAD@{1}` in your reflog, which shows the commit with the message `"Update hello function v2"` right before the `commit (amend)` operation.
Based on the provided `git reflog`, the original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`a9b7dee84c71db8ff37d435944855f76ead66f29`**
**Why:** In `git reflog`, `HEAD@{0}` represents the current state (the amended commit), and `HEAD@{1}` represents the immediate previous state. Since `HEAD@{1}` shows the commit message `"Update hello function v2"`, its hash is the pre-amendment version of your commit.
Based on the provided `git reflog`, the original commit hash before the amendment is:
`96f9f457fb6b34d8c6ecb8920437fbedfe95112a`

The original commit hash before the amendment is:
`a3b29d9de57c71d1d43a5514cf6acc1f45af10b4`
**Explanation:** In your `git reflog`, `HEAD@{1}` shows the commit message `"Update hello function v2"`, which directly precedes the amended commit at `HEAD@{0}` (message `"Update hello function - revised"`). When you run `git commit --amend`, Git creates a brand new commit object for the amended version and updates `HEAD`, leaving the old commit object referenced only in the reflog.
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
```
cad2d3c8694d5c6c553f86de8235c2aca13fb1c5
```
**How to find it in the reflog:**
- `HEAD@{0}` points to the newly amended commit (`HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised`)
- `HEAD@{1}` points to the exact state right before the amend, which contains your original commit (`HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2`)
Git stores the pre-amend commit in the reflog for 30 days by default, allowing you to easily recover or compare against it if needed.
To find the original commit hash before the amendment, we need to analyze the `git reflog` output.
### Step-by-Step Analysis:
1. **Understand `git reflog`**: The reflog records when the tip of branches (like `HEAD`) was updated. Each entry shows the state of `HEAD` at a specific point in time.
2. **Identify the Current State**:
- `HEAD@{0}` is the most recent state.
- Entry: `07e98eee8326d547eb3ed1a4e7c96a59ef2634e5 HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised`
- This confirms that the current commit message is `'Update hello function - revised'`, which matches the description of the amended commit.
3. **Identify the Previous State**:
- `HEAD@{1}` is the state immediately before the most recent action (`HEAD@{0}`).
- Entry: `98dddf6c70da53e6af772f4355d19a9f3c123485 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2`
- This entry shows the commit message `'Update hello function v2'`, which matches the description of the original commit before the amendment.
4. **Extract the Hash**:
- The hash associated with `HEAD@{1}` is `98dddf6c70da53e6af772f4355d19a9f3c123485`.
### Conclusion:
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
```
98dddf6c70da53e6af772f4355d19a9f3c123485
```

# Finding the Original Commit Hash After an Amend
## Understanding What Happened
When you run `git commit --amend`, Git doesn't actually modify the existing commit. Instead, it creates a **new commit** and updates `HEAD` to point to it. The original commit still exists in the object database — it's just no longer referenced by `HEAD`. This is exactly what `git reflog` is designed to recover.
## Reading the Reflog
```
0e252d5 HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised ← NEW (current HEAD)
55f5741 HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2 ← ORIGINAL (before amend)
8b52933 HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
Each entry represents a movement of `HEAD`:
- **`HEAD@{0}`** — The amended commit with the new message (`Update hello function - revised`)
- **`HEAD@{1}`** — The **original commit** before the amendment, with message `Update hello function v2`
- **`HEAD@{2}`** — The initial commit (unrelated to the amend)
## The Answer
The original commit hash before the amendment is:
```
55f57417a0b07d2a02829731b9026006625f2fa5
```
You can directly reference it using the reflog selector:
```bash
# View the original commit
git show HEAD@{1}
# Or restore it as a branch if needed
git branch pre-amend-backup 55f57417a0b07d2a02829731b9026006625f2fa5
```
> ⚠️ **Note:** Reflog entries are local and time-limited (default 90 days for reachable entries, 30 days for unreachable). If the original commit is needed long-term, create a branch or tag pointing to it. Otherwise, garbage collection (`git gc`) will eventually prune it permanently.
Based on the provided `git reflog` output, the original commit hash before the amendment is:
**`b50a482a341402c1944c82f731182542d66f3806`**
### How to read this from the reflog:
* **`HEAD@{0}`** represents your current state, which is the amended commit (`cd986cf...` / "Update hello function - revised").
* **`HEAD@{1}`** represents the state of your HEAD pointer exactly one step ago, right before the amend happened. This is your original commit (`b50a482...` / "Update hello function v2").
If you need to revert to or inspect this original commit, you can use the full hash, the short hash (`b50a482`), or simply reference `HEAD@{1}`.

(raw) {"ref":"The original commit hash before the amend is the entry with `HEAD@{1}` (the previous `commit` before `commit (amend)`), which matches the old message 'Update hello function v2'."}
The original (pre-amend) commit is the entry just before the amend:
**`4beed777ff88e4d54d6d4c01178ce7b4dc98f9f0`**
### How to spot it in `git reflog`
Look for the line with the **old** message (`Update hello function v2`) right before the `commit (amend)` line:
- `HEAD@{0}`: amended commit (`Update hello function - revised`) → `8dfea44...`
- `HEAD@{1}`: original commit (`Update hello function v2`) → **`4beed77...`**
So you can recover it with:
```bash
git reflog
# or directly
git show 4beed777ff88e4d54d6d4c01178ce7b4dc98f9f0
```
If you want to search by message programmatically:
```bash
git reflog --grep="Update hello function v2"
```
This will point you to `HEAD@{1}` and the original hash.

"ref": "3.7) Finding Old Commit After Amend via Git Reflog"
}
Failure: Expected output to mention target hash prefix/full hash or matching HEAD@{n} selector for 'Update hello function v2'
Invalid JSON. Output: To find the **original commit hash** before you amended it using `git commit --amend`, you can use the `git reflog` command.
### Here's how to do it:
#### 1. Run `git reflog`:
```bash
git reflog
```
This will show a log of recent changes to the `HEAD` pointer, including commits that were made or modified.
From your output:
```
e4dfe7f6d78022c1ab75b760623992e3c947c994 HEAD@{0}: commit (amend): Update hello function - revised
a6b8cfb97ee28dd06f3d67038bef9b92c14857fc HEAD@{1}: commit: Update hello function v2
cef3054a9a373b587db24b29e47f85dab0d1be81 HEAD@{2}: commit (initial): Add hello function
```
#### 2. Identify the correct entry:
- The most recent commit is the amended one (`e4dfe7...`), which has the new message.
- The previous commit (before the amend) is the one with the **original message**:
`a6b8cfb97ee28dd06f3d67038bef9b92c14857fc`.
#### 3. Get the hash:
The **original commit hash** is:
```
a6b8cfb97ee28dd06f3d67038bef9b92c14857fc
```

### Summary:
- Use `git reflog` to see the history of `HEAD`.
- Find the commit before the amend by looking for the commit with the original message.
- The hash of that commit is the one you're looking for.
Let me know if you want to reset to that commit!
