`git revert` is your friend.

Imagine you've made a commit and want to undo it, or a particular commit is causing issues in production and you want to roll it back.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Instead of having to change it back manually, `git revert` can do it for you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You specify the commit SHA you want to revert and Git will automatically try and revert that commit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It creates its own commit message which includes the original commit message and [the reverted commit SHA][0], so you can easily find or navigate to the original commit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Revert "Sort talks only by the event date"
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
> This reverts commit cbd1417b24a608df8b451a3ab5c9f888de41e758.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next time, instead of manually reverting a commit, give `git revert` a try.
