To undo a merge using git revert, you can follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 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.<\/li>\n
  2. Switch to the master branch<\/li>\n
  3. Revert the merged commit ID using the parent reference.<\/li>\n
  4. 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.<\/li>\n
  5. Record the changes in Git<\/li>\n
  6. upload changes to the remote repository<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
