Subject: Reverting to old commit
Date: Tue, 27 May 2008 18:50:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8345bd80805271050q7412917bt292a276fbbe6aed3@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Newbie question: What's the simplest way to find an old commit and revert?

Say you have a version from yesterday which worked and today's
experiments failed, so you want to go back to that working version.
Unfortunately, it's not tagged. Instead you need to actually view the
code to identify the version you want. I thought maybe gitk might
help, but I can't find my way with gitk. I hoped you could browse
revisions easier in a GUI and tell gitk or git-gui to revert?

Thanks,

Marcus
