Reset file back to git revision

$ git reset ${commit_hash} ${file_name}

try on your machine

The command git reset ${commit_hash} ${file_name} is used to reset the changes made to a specific file back to a previous commit specified by its hash.

${commit_hash} represents the unique identifier of the commit in the Git history that you want to reset the file to. It is usually a long alphanumeric string (e.g., 2a3b7c4d).
${file_name} represents the name or path of the file you want to reset to the previous commit's version.

When you run this command, it will:

Discard all changes made to the specified file since the commit with the hash ${commit_hash}.
Move the current branch pointer and the staging area pointer to the specified commit, effectively "uncommitting" the changes and removing any subsequent commits.

It's important to note that this command is destructive and permanently removes any changes made after the specified commit for the given file. Therefore, it should be used with caution, especially if you have uncommitted changes or if other collaborators are working on the same repository.
