Hi all! I have a issue regarding git: I did merge with master into my current branch. I did the revert and know when I'm trying to do the merge again, doesn't work. What it is the best solution?

    revert the revert, apply changes

    once you do the revert, old commit is still in the history so you cannot merge it again, two ways are:

    • revert the revert commit, and apply fixes
    • checkout the SHA BEFORE the commit, and force push, but I'm strongly against it unless you're the only developer

    When I do 2 merge in my current branch and I want to revert just a branch?

    you cannot "revert a branch" because when you merge things, you merge commit sets

    give me few minutes, let me check if I can come up with a simple example

    Ok

    ok, so let me understand situation first:

    • you created a new_branch from master
    • you have changed things in new_branch
    • you have merged new_branch to master
    • you have found things are broken
    • you have reverted the merge commit from master (which created revert commit in master)
      is that correct?

    So, I have a branch created from master. Master was ahead with x commits and I did the merge, but when I did the merge, in IDE (PhpStorm) was selected and antoher branch, I want to remove all changes from that branch, but not master.

    ok, so if this is NOT server branch then all fine (i guess)

    simply checkout the SHA of the branch when it was still ok

    if you haven't pushed anything to remote, you can still do
    git checkout branch
    and
    git reset --hard origin/branch

    I did merge: dev-something and master into test-branch
    I want to revert just dev-something from test-branch
