title: Git remove root commit
body: <p>I can't do a lot of things with git and I want to remove a commit from my repo, because I uploaded wrong stuff.</p>
  
  <p>I used <code>git revert &lt;the_commit&gt;</code> but since the commit is root and I can't remove it.
  fatal: Cannot revert a root commit</p>
  
  <p>What to do in that case ?</p>
  
  <p>Please don't give me links to other topics here, I read them and I don't understand what to do, I need some basic example about removing some commit.</p>
