It's not uncommon to make a mistake when committing changes to a repository. When you realize something went wrong, you might not be able to [rewind the changes](/git/s/rewind-to-commit) you made, especially if you've already pushed them to a remote repository. In that case, you'll want to **undo the commit**, without rewriting history.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Revert a commit
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As you might have guessed, `git revert` is the command you're looking for. Using this command, you can **revert a commit**, creating a new commit with the inverse of the commit's changes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
# Syntax: git revert <commit>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git revert 3050fc0
|
||||||
|
# Reverts the commit `3050fc0` and creates a new commit
|
||||||
|
# with the inverse of its changes
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Revert the last commit
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The **latest commit** can be references using the `HEAD` pointer. So, to revert the last commit, you can simply use `git revert HEAD`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
# Syntax: git revert HEAD
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git revert HEAD
|
||||||
|
# Reverts the last commit and creates a new commit
|
||||||
|
# with the inverse of its changes
|
||||||
|
```

Undoes a specified commit without rewriting history.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Use `git revert <commit>` to revert the specified `<commit>`, creating a new commit with the inverse of the commit's changes.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```shell
|
|
||||||
git revert <commit>
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```shell
|
|
||||||
git revert 3050fc0d3
|
|
||||||
# Reverts the commit `3050fc0d3`
|
|
||||||
```
