git question

I would like to compile an old version of my program. Basically I just want to go back to commit XYZ (of the master branch) and compile the source code as it was back then. But I don't want to commit any revert: so just a "goto commit XYZ", and "go back" once done.

How can I do that in git ? (simple solutions preferred, and command line only please)

Thank you

git checkout commit_hash

Thanks. And "git checkout HEAD" to come back?

I guess git checkout master, but HEAD may work too.
EDIT: of course unless you are working on a different branch
