To revert a Git commit and create a new commit to undo changes, you can follow these steps:
First, open the command line or terminal in the directory of your Git repository.
Use the git log command to find the commit you want to revert. Check the commit hash/tag or other details to identify the correct commit. Note down the commit hash/tag for reference.
To create a new commit that undoes the changes of a specific commit, use the git revert command followed by the commit hash/tag. For example, if the commit hash is "a1b2c3d", the command will be:
git revert a1b2c3d
Git will create a new commit that reverts the changes from the specified commit.
Once you run the git revert command, a text editor will open to let you provide a commit message for the revert. Add an appropriate message to describe the reason for the revert and save/close the editor.
Git will create a new commit that undoes the changes made by the previous commit.
Use git log or git show to verify that the commit was successfully reverted. You should see the new revert commit with the specified message.
Finally, push the changes to the remote repository if needed using the git push command:
git push origin <branch-name>
Replace <branch-name> with the name of the branch you want to push the changes to.
That's it! You have successfully reverted a Git commit and created a new commit to undo the changes.
