git-revert(1) |
|
============= |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-revert - Revert some existing commits |
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git revert' [--edit | --no-edit] [-n] [-m parent-number] [-s] <commit>... |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
|
|
Given one or more existing commits, revert the changes that the |
|
related patches introduce, and record some new commits that record |
|
them. This requires your working tree to be clean (no modifications |
|
from the HEAD commit). |
|
|
|
Note: 'git revert' is used to record some new commits to reverse the |
|
effect of some earlier commits (often only a faulty one). If you want to |
|
throw away all uncommitted changes in your working directory, you |
|
should see linkgit:git-reset[1], particularly the '--hard' option. If |
|
you want to extract specific files as they were in another commit, you |
|
should see linkgit:git-checkout[1], specifically the `git checkout |
|
<commit> -- <filename>` syntax. Take care with these alternatives as |
|
both will discard uncommitted changes in your working directory. |
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
<commit>...:: |
|
Commits to revert. |
|
For a more complete list of ways to spell commit names, see |
|
linkgit:gitrevisions[7]. |
|
Sets of commits can also be given but no traversal is done by |
|
default, see linkgit:git-rev-list[1] and its '--no-walk' |
|
option. |
|
|
|
-e:: |
|
--edit:: |
|
With this option, 'git revert' will let you edit the commit |
|
message prior to committing the revert. This is the default if |
|
you run the command from a terminal. |
|
|
|
-m parent-number:: |
|
--mainline parent-number:: |
|
Usually you cannot revert a merge because you do not know which |
|
side of the merge should be considered the mainline. This |
|
option specifies the parent number (starting from 1) of |
|
the mainline and allows revert to reverse the change |
|
relative to the specified parent. |
|
+ |
|
Reverting a merge commit declares that you will never want the tree changes |
|
brought in by the merge. As a result, later merges will only bring in tree |
|
changes introduced by commits that are not ancestors of the previously |
|
reverted merge. This may or may not be what you want. |
|
+ |
|
See the link:howto/revert-a-faulty-merge.txt[revert-a-faulty-merge How-To] for |
|
more details. |
|
|
|
--no-edit:: |
|
With this option, 'git revert' will not start the commit |
|
message editor. |
|
|
|
-n:: |
|
--no-commit:: |
|
Usually the command automatically creates some commits with |
|
commit log messages stating which commits were |
|
reverted. This flag applies the changes necessary |
|
to revert the named commits to your working tree |
|
and the index, but does not make the commits. In addition, |
|
when this option is used, your index does not have to match |
|
the HEAD commit. The revert is done against the |
|
beginning state of your index. |
|
+ |
|
This is useful when reverting more than one commits' |
|
effect to your index in a row. |
|
|
|
-s:: |
|
--signoff:: |
|
Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message. |
|
|
|
EXAMPLES |
|
-------- |
|
git revert HEAD~3:: |
|
|
|
Revert the changes specified by the fourth last commit in HEAD |
|
and create a new commit with the reverted changes. |
|
|
|
git revert -n master\~5..master~2:: |
|
|
|
Revert the changes done by commits from the fifth last commit |
|
in master (included) to the third last commit in master |
|
(included), but do not create any commit with the reverted |
|
changes. The revert only modifies the working tree and the |
|
index. |
