What it does
Undo a bad change without nuking unrelated work. Use when a specific commit or change broke something.
Surgical Revert
Don't git reset --hard away three good commits to undo one bad one.
- Single commit,
git revert <sha>creates an inverse commit; history stays intact and shared-branch-safe. - One file from a commit,
git checkout <good-sha> -- path/to/file. - Hunk-level,
git checkout -pto revert specific changes, keep the rest. - A merge,
git revert -m 1 <merge-sha>(pick the mainline parent). On a shared branch, always revert (forward), never rewrite history. Reproduce the breakage first so you revert the RIGHT thing, then verify the revert actually fixes it.
