revert

Basic Usage

1. Revert a Single Commit

   To revert a single commit, use the following command:

   git revert <commit_hash>

   This will create a new commit that undoes the changes made by the specified commit.

2. Revert Multiple Commits

   To revert a range of commits, use the following command:

   git revert <oldest_commit_hash>..<newest_commit_hash>

   This will create new commits that undo the changes made by the specified range of commits.

3. Revert a Commit with a Message

   To revert a commit and provide a custom commit message, use the -m option:

   git revert -m "Reverting commit <commit_hash>" <commit_hash>

Examples

1. Revert a Single Commit

   git revert abc123

   This command creates a new commit that undoes the changes made by commit abc123.

2. Revert Multiple Commits

   git revert abc123..def456

   This command creates new commits that undo the changes made by the commits in the range from abc123 to def456.

3. Revert a Commit with a Custom Message

   git revert -m "Reverting commit abc123" abc123

   This command creates a new commit that undoes the changes made by commit abc123 and includes the custom message "Reverting commit abc123".

Using git revert allows you to safely undo changes while preserving the commit history.
