↩️ Git Revert = Safe Undo

Mistakes happen. Git revert undoes commits safely. No history rewrite, safe for shared branches.

📝 Revert Commands

# Revert last commit
git revert HEAD

# Revert specific commit
git revert abc123

# Revert with message
git revert -m "Reverting feature X" abc123

# Revert without commit (stage only)
git revert -n abc123

# Revert range of commits
git revert abc123..def456

# Revert merge commit
git revert -m 1 merge-commit-hash

# Continue revert (after resolving conflicts)
git revert --continue

# Abort revert
git revert --abort

# Revert multiple commits
git revert abc123 def456 ghi789

# Auto-commit revert
git revert --no-edit abc123

✅ Reset vs Revert

• Reset: Rewrites history (dangerous for shared branches)
• Revert: Creates new commit (safe for shared branches)
• Use revert for public branches
• Use reset for local, unpushed commits
• Revert is reversible (revert the revert)
