How to Revert a Specific Commit from Remote

Follow these steps to revert a specific commit from the remote repository:

  1. Pull the Latest Changes:

    • Ensure your local branch is up-to-date with the remote branch.
    git pull origin <branch-name>
  2. Check All Commits:

    • Verify that all the commits are present.
    • View the commit log history to identify the specific commit you want to revert.
    git log --oneline
  3. Revert the Specific Commit:

    • Use the following command to revert the specific commit. Replace <commit_id> with the actual commit ID you want to revert.
    git revert <commit_id>
  4. Add a Revert Message (Optional):

    • If prompted to add a revert message, you can edit the message and then save and exit. In the editor, use :wq to save and exit.
  5. Push Local Changes to Remote:

    • Push the changes from your local branch to the remote branch.
    git push origin <branch-name>
  6. Verify Changes:

    • Pull the latest changes from the remote to ensure everything is in sync.
    git pull origin <branch-name>

By following these steps, you will successfully revert a specific commit from both your local and remote repositories. :)
