Rails/Git - Getting previous version of Odot

Hey everybody, having a quick question concerning Git (I guess). I did some mistakes while following along the build a todo list app course and now I want to go back to a previous version. Since Jason committed always the changes with git (me too since I followed the course) I thought it might be possible to go back in time and delete/ignore the stuff that I recently did. At least that is what I thought Git would be used for. But after doing the Git basics course I still can't figure out how. Is that possible? Even after database migration etc.? Thanks a lot for any tipps!!

database should be separately handled. Better change it back (with additional migration, or) using rake db:rollback and rake db:migrate:status before you go back to previous commit.

when it's committed, you can undo the commit with git reset --hard HEAD^.
