In this tutorial, How to Git Revert Commit is already pushed to a remote repository. Sometimes I recover wrong changes (commits) in a coding project.

For example, File Vagrantfile on the remote repository with the content below

I have to change the content of this file as below

How do you see the last commit?

Use the git log command to see the hash of each Git commit, the message associated with each commit, and more metadata.

git log

You can see the last commit simplify the output terminal as command below

git log --oneline

How to undo this commit?

git revert <commit hash>

• This command will create a new commit with the “Revert” word at the beginning of the message.
• Check your repository status
• After this, I will be pushed to the remote repository with the git push command

I will revert to with content not comment out in file Vagrantfile
