git reset

git reset moves the current HEAD to the commit specified:

$ git reset --hard HEAD (going back to HEAD)
$ git reset --hard HEAD^ (going back to the commit before HEAD)
$ git reset --hard HEAD~1 (equivalent to "^")
$ git reset --hard HEAD~2 (going back two commits before HEAD)

--hard is used to reset the files of the index/staging area and of the working copy. --hard leaves the untracked files in peace, does not delete them.
