问题 Although I use Git pretty often, I'm still a beginner. Sometimes, I make a mistake but spot it only after I have committed it. At that point, I usually have to spend a long time on the Internet looking for the command I should use to get rid of it (before pushing). Every time that happens, I find myself wondering what's the difference between the four terms that I usually come across: revert, amend, rollback, undo. I've that it's finally time to learn those differences once and for all. What

So I'm working on a project with other people, and there's multiple github forks being worked on. Someone just made a fix for a problem and I merged with his fork, but then I realized that I could find a better solution. I want to revert the commit I just made. I tried doing this with git revert HEAD but it gave me this error: fatal: Commit <SHA1> is a merge but no -m option was given. What does that mean? When I merged and committed, I did use the -m option to say "Merged with <username>". What am I doing wrong here? By default git revert refuses to revert a merge commit as what that actually

Undo change in git (not rewriting history)

问题 I made a change in a script and committed it. Then I made a few other changes, and pushed them to a remote repository and such. Then I realised that first change I mentioned was stupid, and want to undo it.. Can I "unapply" that commit, without manually copy/pasting the diff? As an example: I have two files, a.py and b.py : Commit 1: I delete a function in a.py Commit 2: I change a few lines in b.py Commit 3: I change the docstring in a.py Can I undo that function deletion, and make it appear

What&#39;s the difference between Git Revert, Checkout and Reset?

I am trying to learn how to restore or rollback files and projects to a prior state, and don't understand the difference between git revert , checkout , and reset . Why are there 3 different commands for seemingly the same purpose, and when should someone choose one over the other? These three commands have entirely different purposes. They are not even remotely similar. git revert This command creates a new commit that undoes the changes from a previous commit. This command adds new history to the project (it doesn't modify existing history). git checkout This command checks-out content from

Rollback to an old Git commit in a public repo

How can I go about rolling back to a specific commit in git? The best answer someone could give me was to use git revert X times until I reach the desired commit. So let's say I want to revert back to a commit that's 20 commits old, I'd have to run it 20 times. Is there an easier way to do this? I can't use reset because this repository is public. Alex Reisner Try this: git checkout [revision] . where [revision] is the commit hash (for example: 12345678901234567890123456789012345678ab ). Don't forget the . at the end, very important. This will apply changes to the whole tree. You should

问题 Is there a git command to revert all uncommitted changes in a working tree and index and to also remove newly created files and folders? 回答1: You can run these two commands: # Revert changes to modified files. git reset --hard # Remove all untracked files and directories. # '-f' is force, '-d' is remove directories. git clean -fd 回答2: If you want to revert the changes only in current working directory, use git checkout -- .

Undo a particular commit in Git that&#39;s been pushed to remote repos

↘锁芯ラ 提交于 2019-11-26 02:26:05
问题 What is the simplest way to undo a particular commit that is: not in the head or HEAD Has been pushed to the remote. Because if it is not the latest commit, git reset HEAD doesn\'t work. And because it has been pushed to a remote, git rebase -i and git rebase --onto will cause some problem in the remotes. More so, I don\'t want to modify the history really. If there was bad code, it was there in the history and can be seen. I just want it out in the working copy, and I don\'t mind a reverse
