How to revert multiple git commits?

Question

I have a git repository that looks like this:

A <- B <- C <- D <- HEAD

I want the head of the branch to point to A, i.e. I want B

Answer 1

Similar to Jakub's answer, this allows you to easily select consecutive commits to revert.

# revert all commits from B to HEAD, inclusively
$ git revert --no-commit B..HEAD  
$ git commit -m 'message'
