I have couple of commit on github i have couple of lists git log --oneline to see lists of commits where you want go back to there.
I have tried git checkout HEAD 0e9457e3f14d62ffb95bf276975486779098b748 (copy full of SHA) that was not match any files

I wonder why you are doing both reset and checkout though. These are better to use on unpublished files. If you have pushed the file then you better do something else to revert it like... "git revert".

12,637 Pointsit was working revert on github bash command line showing change a file. It refused to "git push" on same branch so I decided make a new branch and it was working to push and updated everything to github.com and git log lists along remove some lists. I am having problem the old branch http://imgur.com/zB2m4Hi

git reset --hard
