33.39 Git Revert Merge
20211108
Ooops. In dealing with a couple of pull requests into the main branch of the repo, and then trying to merge main into a development branch to update that branch, somehow the development branch got merged back into main along the way and committed. Now main in the repo is broken!
We can revert from a merge using revert. First, grab it’s commit hash (SHA1), and then:
The -m 1 ensures that we keep the parent side of the merge of the
branch we are merging into.
If there are any conflicts then manually resolve them and then git add to mark the conflict as resolved.
Once all that is done we have a buch of changes ready to commit to revert the previous merge.
