Reverting a commit in GitHub Desktop

You can use GitHub Desktop to revert a specific commit to remove its changes from your branch.

When you revert to a previous commit, the revert is also a commit. The original commit also remains in the repository's history.

[!TIP]
When you revert multiple commits, it's best to revert in order from newest to oldest. If you revert commits in a different order, you may see merge conflicts.

1. In the left sidebar, click History.

   

2. Right-click the commit you want to revert and click Revert Changes in Commit.
