Commit #'s and GIT & direct d/l of zipped GIT mangos

[Whistler]

I have been searching and reading commands but I haven't been able to find how to "revert" to a certain commit in GIT. I want to apply some patches but they require a certain commit... Can some one help?

2. I am not able to download the repository as a zip file any longer. It could be a local problem but the page is loading ok but I don't get the pop up option to d/l the zip file. It used to work. Any thoughts on that?

thanks for your help.

1.

git reset --hard MUH

MUH= sha1-hash

=HEAD^ (last commit)

=HEAD^^(commit before last)

or maybe you're satisfied with "git checkout MUH"

2. no idea (:

Thanks. I used

git reset --hard head^^^

I didn't have the full sha1

to get where I needed. thanks again

you also don't need to have a full sha1 you just need as much signs of the sha1 as long it is unique

also 3 characters may be unique in the whole git-repository

Actually, I suggest you to read manpage of git-rev-parse, from SPECIFYING REVISIONS ... the "more correct way" in this example should be HEAD~3 (you can read there why).
