Revert

It is possible to revert changes without modifying the Git history. This makes reverting commits a safer option than resetting commits. To revert a commit execute the following command:

git revert <commit-hash>

Unlike git reset, the git revert command only reverts the changes of a specified commit, and will not revert the commit that came after the specified commit.

The git revert command also accepts a range of commits:

git revert [--no-commit] <commit-hash>..HEAD

git commit -m "revert: <reason-for-reverting>"

The git revert command above reverts all changes from the <commit-hash> up to and including where HEAD is. It also adds the files that have reverts to the staging area. For more safety use the --no-commit flag. It allows for reviewing the reverted changes before the commit is made. To abort the revert execute:

git revert --abort
