git-revert: Revert the most recent commit.
$ git revert ${HEAD}
try on your machine
The command "git revert ${HEAD}" is used in Git version control system to create a new commit that undoes the changes made in the most recent commit.
Here is an explanation of each part:
- "git revert": It is the command to create a new commit that undoes changes.
- "${HEAD}": It refers to the current commit or the latest commit in the branch.
When you run this command, Git will analyze the changes made in the latest commit and create a new commit with the opposite changes. This allows you to "revert" or "undo" the changes made in the most recent commit without modifying the commit history. The new commit created by "git revert" will be added on top of the branch, and it will have a commit message that explains what it is reverting.
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and
never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
