To delete a commit from a Git branch, you can use the git revert
command. This command will create a new commit that undoes the changes made in the commit that you want to delete.
Here’s an example of how you can use git revert
to delete a commit:
- First, use the
git log
command to view the commit history of the branch. This will allow you to identify the commit that you want to delete. - Once you have identified the commit that you want to delete, use the
git revert
command followed by the commit hash to revert the commit. For example:
revert <commit_hash>
- This will create a new commit that undoes the changes made in the commit that you want to delete.
- Push the changes to the remote repository using the
git push
command.
Note that this method does not permanently delete the commit, but rather creates a new commit that undoes the changes made in the commit that you want to delete. If you want to permanently delete the commit, you can use the git rebase
command with the -i
flag to interactively edit the commit history. However, this is a more advanced technique and can be dangerous if not used carefully, as it can result in lost work if not done correctly.
