How to use Git Revert

git revert is used to undo a commit without losing changes or rewriting history. Instead of removing a commit, it creates a new commit that reverses the effects of the specified commit. This makes it a safer option, especially in shared repositories.

Why Use git revert?

• Keeps commit history intact (unlike git reset).
  
• Safe for teams working on the same branch.
  
• Can be used to revert specific commits without affecting later ones.
  

How to Use git revert

Revert a single commit:

  git revert 

• This creates a new commit that undoes the changes from the specified commit.
  
• Git will open a text editor for the commit message; you can modify it or save it as is.
  

Revert multiple commits:

  git revert HEAD~3..HEAD

This undoes the last 3 commits one by one, creating a new commit for each.

Revert without opening a text editor:

  git revert -n 

This reverts the commit without creating a new commit immediately. You can review changes and commit later.

Push changes after revert:

  git push origin main

• If you’ve already pushed the original commit, push the revert commit to update the remote branch.
  
• git revert is a safe way to undo changes while preserving Git history, making it ideal for collaborative projects.
