Can We Revert the Merge in Git

To undo a git merge, you need to find the commit ID of your last commit. Then, you need to use the git reset command to reset your repository to its state in that commit. There is no “git revert merge” command.

How do I revert a merge in github?

  1. Under your repository name, click Pull requests.
  2. In the “Pull Requests” list, click the pull request you’d like to revert.
  3. Near the bottom of the pull request, click Revert.
  4. Merge the resulting pull request. For more information, see “Merging a pull request.”

What is revert merge?

Git revert adds a new commit that rolls back the specified commit. Using -m 1 tells git that this is a merge and we want to roll back to the parent commit on the master branch. You would use -m 2 to specify the develop branch.
