git，如何找到所有匹配的文件并恢复到以前的提交

Question

I have a long list of files in my commit that have been pushed up to the repo. I want to reset a set of those files back to a previous commit, but keep the changes I've made to the rest.

For example:

• foldername1
• foldername3
• foldername4

I want to revert the changes to all files (around 500 files) in foldername3 without having to do it manually for each file.

Answer 1

Just one folder, entire, no exceptions? That's easy — checkout the folder from the previous commit:

gt checkout HEAD~ -- foldername3
