What exactly did you delete? You can’t delete commits via the web interface, unless you delete the whole repository (or branch). |

To restore a deleted commit in a GitHub repository, you can utilize the git reflog command to locate the commit's SHA hash and then use git reset --hard to restore it. This works by accessing a log of recent actions on the repository, including commits that have been deleted. |
