Sometimes you want to go back to your previous commit and keep all the previous changes. You want to commit new code between the previous commit and the current HEAD.

First, create a new branch called 'revert-branch' from the commit you want to return. In this example, we want to roll back to the previous commit (assuming the current branch is 'master') and make changes on this commit.

git branch revert-branch HEAD^

Next switch to the new branch:

git checkout revert-branch

Teach a trick: soft restore from master to HEAD of new branch. Soft restore will change the state of HEAD without affecting the tree.

git reset --soft master

Now, we execute git status and we will see the changes we want to restore to the commit. I'm going to undo adding 'second.txt', but it could also be a more complex change:

$ git status # On branch revert-branch # Changes to be committed: # (use to unstage) # # deleted: second.txt #

Now let's submit this 'reversal':

git commit -m "reverted to initial state. "Thank you for your reading. The above is the content of" How to use Git to recover to the previous submission ".
