I'm working on an Objective C project in Xcode and need to restore to a previous version that was committed in source control. How do I do that? I can find information on how to commit and push but no information on how to restore to an old version.

You cannot revert the entire project at once in Xcode, but you could do it from the terminal; just cd into the folder of your project and type git log to find the hash you're looking for, then do git checkout [hash].
