How to use git revert to undo a merge
To undo a merge using git revert, you can follow these steps:
- First, use the git log command to view the recent commit history and find the merged commit. Copy the commit ID of the merged commit.
- Switch to the master branch
- Revert the merged commit ID using the parent reference.
- Git will open a new commit message file in the editor. You can keep the default commit message or modify it as needed. Save and close the editor.
- Record the changes in Git
- upload changes to the remote repository
After the above steps are completed, Git will create a new commit to undo the merge operation, and then push the commit to the remote repository. This successfully reverses the merge operation.
