Now the remote repo is ahead by many commits. How can I push my reverted changes back? Is there a way to revert by range? like
git revert HEAD^..shaResettedTo

Not sure I am following you. Do you want both the
newBranch and master to be at the same spot?Chris Ledet
No, I want something like
git reset shaHere to make a commit to undo all the previous changes so master isn't behind on remote/master. Make sense? Something like git revert <sha> but that reverts one commit.Andy
Ahh, I misread your comment.
git push remote master if it is tracking the remote master, it will push remote/master to the correct spot.

You should change last line to
git reset --hard shaToResetMasterTo. |
