How to revert multiple commits as part of a single commit

Question

This is not a major problem, just something I want to know whether or not is possible.

Let\'s say we have two commits, abcd123 and wxyz789,

Answer 1

git revert -n <commits>
git commit

The first command will do all the reverts without create any commits and stage the final result (the -n option). After that, the commit command creates a single commit.

Answer 2

In case of complicated reverts, which changes each other, the revert --no-commit might be problematic.

My simple solution was to do real revert, and the squash:

git revert <all commits>
git rebase -i

And then mark all the reverts as squash, except the first one, to create a single commit.

Answer 3

You can do:

git revert abcd123
git revert --no-commit wxyz789
git commit --amend

... and then write an appropriate commit message describing the combined effect of reverting both commits.
