.SH NAME
git-revert \- Revert an existing commit
.SH "SYNOPSIS"


\fIgit\-revert\fR [\-\-edit | \-\-no\-edit] [\-n] <commit>

.SH "DESCRIPTION"


Given one existing commit, revert the change the patch introduces, and record a new commit that records it\&. This requires your working tree to be clean (no modifications from the HEAD commit)\&.

.SH "OPTIONS"

.TP
<commit>
Commit to revert\&.

.TP
\-e|\-\-edit
With this option, git\-revert will let you edit the commit message prior committing the revert\&. This is the default if you run the command from a terminal\&.

.TP
\-\-no\-edit
With this option, git\-revert will not start the commit message editor\&.

.TP
\-n|\-\-no\-commit
Usually the command automatically creates a commit with a commit log message stating which commit was reverted\&. This flag applies the change necessary to revert the named commit to your working tree, but does not make the commit\&. In addition, when this option is used, your working tree does not have to match the HEAD commit\&. The revert is done against the beginning state of your working tree\&.

This is useful when reverting more than one commits' effect to your working tree in a row\&.
