Undo a particular commit in Git that's been pushed to remote repos
Identify the hash of the commit, using git log, then use git revert <commit> to create a new commit that removes these changes. In a way, git revert is the converse of git cherry-pick -- the latter applies the patch to a branch that's missing it, the former removes it from a branch that has it.
I don't like the auto-commit that git revert does, so this might be helpful for some.
If you just want the modified files not the auto-commit, you can use --no-commit
% git revert --no-commit <commit hash>which is the same as the -n
% git revert -n <commit hash>
Because it has already been pushed, you shouldn't directly manipulate history. git revert will revert specific changes from a commit using a new commit, so as to not manipulate commit history.
