How to revert git commits
Sometimes we are too enthousiast and commit changes into our master tree to realize it was not meant to be? The following is such an example:
$ git log

commit a252ca20b5dc9f34f6c8fffb61e055141ca37669
Merge: b8b7e46 6915bbd

Merge pull request #2225 from goldzahn/master
Use mountpoint instead of mount|grep
Well, after some time we realized that we should got back to the commit “a252ca20b5dc9f34f6c8fffb61e055141ca37669” and forget all the more recent commits.
This is how it done quickly and rather easy:
$ git branch temp a252ca20b5dc9f34f6c8fffb61e055141ca37669
$ git rebase --onto temp master
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
$ git branch -d temp
Deleted branch temp (was a252ca2).
$ git log
commit a252ca20b5dc9f34f6c8fffb61e055141ca37669
Merge: b8b7e46 6915bbd
Author: Gratien D'haese <gratien.dhaese@gmail.com>
Date: Wed Sep 11 10:20:23 2019 +0200
We do hope it helps some poor folks struggling with this…
