| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-revert - Revert an existing commit |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-revert' [--edit | --no-edit] [-n] <commit> |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Given one existing commit, revert the change the patch introduces, and record a |
| new commit that records it. This requires your working tree to be clean (no |
| modifications from the HEAD commit). |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| <commit>:: |
| Commit to revert. |
| For a more complete list of ways to spell commit names, see |
| "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in gitlink:git-rev-parse[1]. |
| |
| -e|--edit:: |
| With this option, `git-revert` will let you edit the commit |
| message prior committing the revert. This is the default if |
| you run the command from a terminal. |
| |
| --no-edit:: |
| With this option, `git-revert` will not start the commit |
| message editor. |
| |
| -n|--no-commit:: |
| Usually the command automatically creates a commit with |
| a commit log message stating which commit was reverted. |
| This flag applies the change necessary to revert the |
| named commit to your working tree, but does not make the |
| commit. In addition, when this option is used, your |
| working tree does not have to match the HEAD commit. |
| The revert is done against the beginning state of your |
| working tree. |
| + |
| This is useful when reverting more than one commits' |
| effect to your working tree in a row. |
