easiest way since the code is messed up and doesn't really matter if you destroy the history would be a reset.

git reset --hard c42a9908b9f4645d74378b6d40e7a4ba4539d12e

this would take you all the way back to your first commit. the code listed there is listed in the log next to the word "commit" and each commit has a unique code.
