To push your commits on the command line, enter git push.

Getting Earlier Versions of Files

If you want to revert all your local changes and get back to the previous repository state, use git reset --hard or the Reset item in the EGit context menu. If you only want to revert some specific files, do one of the following:

• Right click the files, click Replace With, click HEAD Revision.
• Enter git checkout <path> on the command line.

By giving a branch, tag, or commit number in git checkout <commit> <path>, you can get to any existing version of the files. If no path is given, git checkout <commit> switches your whole working copy and index to the specified branch, tag, or commit number. If git reset is given a commit number, the current branch is modified to point at the given commit.

Cleaning Your Working Directory

In case the working directory is messed up with unstaged files, which are not affected by git reset --hard, a clean up is achieved by means of git clean -f. The additional switch -d applies this to directories, respectively. Hence, git reset + git clean act like svn revert.

git clean -X removes only the files that are ignored by Git, that is mainly the .class files generated by the Java compiler. A full rebuild is required afterwards.
