[GUIDE] How to "check out" GIThub from Windows

[hikikomori18]

Hi,

Is there a command so I can revert my mangos source to previous revision? Like rev 7029?

Thanks

git reset --hard <revspec>

where <revspec> can be absolute "link" -- ie. the SHA1 of a commit

or it can be relative, like HEAD~4 (4 revs back), HEAD^^2 (2 revs back to the second merge parent)

Freghar posted it, its the 8th post in the thread. after others had already posted your question.

revspec can be for example a search command:

git reset --hard [1234]

should work too (it will search each commit's message for a matching string and use the first that matches).

(many people probably know the slash '/' as a classic search in many text editors .. and '?' sign for backwards search (I'm not sure if that's implemented here)).

git reset --hard [1234]

If however 1234 is present in both master and mangos-0.12 you may not get the one you want..

I believe it searches down the parents, ie. if you run this from a master HEAD, it never gets to mangos-0.12 .. at least I would guess.

edit: ah, I see, you were right ..
