Revert a check-in file in Git

To revert a file to a previous version in Git, follow these steps:

1. View the commit history for the file: Use git log followed by the file name to see the commit history for that specific file:

git log --oneline <filename>

This will display a concise list of commits that have modified the file.

2. Checkout the previous version of the file: Use the git checkout command followed by the commit hash and the file name:

git checkout <commit_hash> -- <filename>

Replace <commit_hash> with the hash of the commit that contains the version of the file you want to revert to.

3. Commit the change: To save the reverted file, commit the change:

git add <filename>
git commit -m "Reverted changes to <filename>"

4. Push the changes: Finally, push the updated branch to the remote repository:

git push origin <branch_name>

Happy Coding 🙂
