How to use Git Revert

Question

How is git revert used?

Answer 1

I reverted back a few commits by running 'git revert commit id' such as:

git revert b2cb7c248d416409f8eb42b561cbff91b0601712

Then i was prompted to commit the revert (just as you would when running 'git commit'). My default terminal program is Vim so i ran:

:wq 

Finally i pushed the change to the repository with:

git push
