Manage your Git revert changes

To manage your Git history and view or revert changes, here are some steps you can follow:

Viewing Git History

1. View Commit History
   - You can see the commit history using the command:
   

     git log
     

   - For a more concise view, you can use:
   

     git log --oneline
     

Reverting to a Previous Commit

1. Identify the Commit
   - Find the commit hash from

git log

that you want to revert to.

2. Revert to a Specific Commit
   - If you want to revert your working directory to a specific commit without changing the commit history, you can use:
   

     git checkout <commit-hash>
     

   - If you need to make this a new commit on your branch, you might want to create a new branch first:
   

     git checkout -b <new-branch-name> <commit-hash>
     

3. Reset to a Previous Commit
   - To reset your branch to a specific commit and discard all changes after that commit:
   

     git reset --hard <commit-hash>
     

   - To reset and keep the changes in your working directory:
   

     git reset --soft <commit-hash>
     

Comparing Changes

1. Compare Branches
   - To compare the differences between the

main

and

dev

branches:
   

     git diff main..dev
     

2. Compare Specific Commits
   - To compare changes between two specific commits:
   

     git diff <commit-hash1> <commit-hash2>
     

GitHub Review

On GitHub, you can also easily compare changes between branches or specific commits:

1. Pull Request Comparison
   - Create a pull request from

dev

to

main

(or vice versa) to see the changes in the GitHub interface.
   - This will provide a visual representation of the differences and allow for comments and code review.

2. Commit History on GitHub
   - Navigate to your repository on GitHub.
   - Go to the "Commits" section to see a list of all commits.
   - Click on a specific commit to see the changes introduced by that commit.

3. Filtering Changes
   - You can filter changes by files or search for specific code changes directly on GitHub using the "Files changed" tab in a pull request.

Summary

- Use

git log

to view commit history.
- Use

git checkout

or

git reset

to revert to a previous commit.
- Use

git diff

to compare changes between branches or commits.
- Use GitHub's interface to visually compare and review changes.
