Revert
Where git reset is a sledgehammer, git revert is a scalpel.
A revert is effectively an anti commit. It does not remove the commit (like reset), but instead creates a new commit that does the exact opposite of the commit being reverted. It undoes the change but keeps a full history of the change and its undoing.
Using Revert
To revert a commit, you need to know the commit hash of the commit you want to revert. You can find this hash using git log.
git log
Once you have the hash, you can revert the commit using git revert.
git revert <commit-hash>
