Revert

Revert (Rollback) can be used to undo previous merge changes, allowing you to quickly and safely roll back erroneous merges or unwanted changes.

In GitCode Pull Requests, the Revert operation allows you to create a new Pull Request to roll back previous merged changes, restoring the project to its previous state.

Limitations of Revert​

Although Revert is a powerful tool, it has some limitations:

  • It may introduce new issues: Rolling back changes might introduce new issues or conflicts, requiring careful review.
  • Not applicable in all situations: Revert is suitable for situations where you need to undo previous changes but not for all types of problems.

Revert is a safe and efficient rollback method, suitable for undoing incorrect submissions during collaborative development. By creating new commit records, it maintains the integrity of the history and provides a clear rollback trail for the team.
