Revert changes to a file in a commit

Question

I want to revert changes made by a particular commit to a given file only.

Can I use git revert command for that?

Any other simple way to do it?

Answer 1

If you'd like to reset the changes on a file from your last commit, this is what I'm usually using. I think this is the simplest solution.

Please notice that the file will be added to the staging area.

git checkout  -- 

Hope it helps :)
