how do i undo the most recent commits in git

I accidentally committed the wrong files to Git, but didn't push the commit to the server yet. How can I undo those commits from the local repository? The only way seems to be to copy the edits in ...
shell 
$ git commit -m "Something terribly misguided" # (0: Your Accident)
$ git reset HEAD~                              # (1)
[ edit files as necessary ]                    # (2)
$ git add .                                    # (3)
$ git commit -c ORIG_HEAD                      # (4)
