I have a commit id of "a9a6de2" within my list of commits that's a few versions old.

What's the git command to revert to that commit?

  • Just to be clear: do you mean revert the changes introduced by that commit, or check that commit out? – jub0bs Oct 02 '14 at 14:35

  • I want my version of that project to match that previous commit. – duckmike Oct 02 '14 at 14:44

to create a new branch that matches that SHA 

git checkout -b YOUR_BRANCH a9a6de2

To make the currently checked out branch match that sha --Not working directory safe --Do not to to push this to a remote server 

git reset --hard a9a6de2

Note that git revert does a subtractive patch of the SHA specified (and only the SHA specified), which doesn't sound at all like what you want. I understand this is a common source of confusion for Subversion users because 'revert' behaves differently in Subversion.

Sounds like you want to revert that commit

$ git revert a9a6de2 should do it
