[xuke771]

Hi guys..I am learning to use GIT manage my repo..but i have a question: How to revert commits?

I means how to revert commits which is't the last commits? for example,i commit for 3 commits,it is A Band C,now i only want to revert A,but B and C remain contains in my work branch,how to do it?

if it is not published to "the world" the cleanest and easiest way is git rebase -i (see git rebase --help)

if it published, you shouldn't rebase, because you will corrupt your history, in such a case git revert --help should help you

gitready has a nice into to rebase btw.

git revert <commit>

how to get the commit number? do git log and look for the long number with chars

[roby10]

so.. as far as i know....

git revert <here.. the first 8th numbers from commit.... for ex: mangos 10426 has : a1b97ce3036b58706faeb66d43caffd3c0509e13... you will type ... "git revert a1b97ce3" >

hope it works

let me know if this is the right way
