I am trying to view a list of commits that were made on a particular branch, let's call this branch "fb-1", without the quotes.

After I view the list of commits, I want to revert back to before a particular commit.

Any suggestions? I have not done this before, so wanted to ask for advice/suggestions.

    Read the docs about [git-revert - Revert some existing commits](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-revert) – Luuk Dec 29 '22 at 15:39

    Be careful: there's a difference between revert and reset. These are technical terms. – matt Dec 29 '22 at 16:04

You can do it simply straight:

  1. List all of the commits git log

  2. Revert to specific commit git revert [some id of your commit on that branch]

You can see the details by clicking here.

Figured it out.

Use git log to get a list of all commits.

You can use git revert --no-commit a..b to revert all the commits starting at the commit after a (note that!) and ending at, and including, commit b. The reversion will be staged for you to commit.

    Okay, but I mean is this really a useful contribution to Stack Overflow? It's really no different from, say, https://stackoverflow.com/a/43081965/341994 for example. What's the point of creating a duplicate of an existing and massively popular QA? – matt Dec 29 '22 at 23:49
