How to revert a commit pull request in Git

To revert a specific commit using Git commands in the comments section, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your Git client or terminal: You can use the command prompt, Git Bash, or any other terminal emulator that allows you to run Git commands.
  2. Navigate to your project directory: Use the cd command to navigate to the directory of your Git project. For example:
cd /path/to/your/project
  1. Check out the target branch: Ensure that you have the target branch checked out. You can use the following command to switch to the target branch:
git checkout <target_branch_name>
  1. Fetch the latest changes: Retrieve the latest changes from the remote repository using the following command:
git fetch
  1. Revert the commit: To revert the specific commit associated with the pull request, use the following command:
git revert <commit_hash>

Replace <commit_hash> with the commit hash of the commit you want to revert.

  1. Review the changes: Git will open an editor for you to provide a commit message. Review the changes that will be made and modify the commit message if needed. Save and close the editor.
  2. Push the changes: Finally, push the revert commit to the remote repository using the following command:
git push origin <target_branch_name>
