Git: Revert one or more commits

Reverting a commit means creating a new commit that undoes the old changes.

Imagine the following commit history:

* commit_sha3 [Story-ID 1] Fixup for my feature 
* commit_sha2 [Story-ID 5] Other feature
* commit_sha1 [Story-ID 1] My feature 

You can revert a single commit using the following syntax:

git revert commit_sha2

To revert changes that are split across multiple commits, use the --no-commit flag.

git revert --no-commit commit_sha3
git revert --no-commit commit_sha1
git commit -m "Revert Story 1"
