Hello you guys.
I have a C# project and push on Github source control. This source has some developers working together. Today I created a new branch that is sprint20211109_fixbug_publish_verify_messages and based on from the main branch.
But when I merge the main branch into this branch and have some commits added but I still do not push them.
Now I want to revert/undo all those commits and don't want to push them to the origin of the current branch. I use the command:
git reset --hard origin/sprint20211109_fixbug_publish_verify_message
But I got an exception fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin/sprint20211109_fixbug_publish_verify_messages': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
λ git reset --hard origin/sprint20211109_fixbug_publish_verify_messages
fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin/sprint20211109_fixbug_publish_verify_messages': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
I used Git version 2.35.1.windows.2.
Thank you in advance.

"Unknown revision or path not in the working tree." Sometimes I got this error because that branch name has not existed.
Please be sure that the
sprint20211109_fixbug_publish_verify_messagebranch is existed in your Github repo. I think you missedscharacter at the end of the branch.It should be
sprint20211109_fixbug_publish_verify_messagesnotsprint20211109_fixbug_publish_verify_message.Please check again.
