Cannot revert after merge in Git

Question

This is my situation. I'm working on the MiniMaxAB branch (green line)

I accidentally merged a branch (purple) into mine (green) and pushed it. Which is stupid (i just started learning git) and bad for our goal. Now i would love to revert this and undo this merge. Therefore i picked up the hash of the latest commit in the green branch before the merge (which is not visible in this chart because 15days old) and tried to revert:

git revert 86ed202152e719ae719654f7805bd2991f63fd29

Unfortunately it doesn't work... This is what git says:

So i tried with reset, which works

git reset 86ed202152e719ae719654f7805bd2991f63fd29

But when i push, i get this error:

How can i fix it?

Answer 1

You should follow the steps below:

Step 1: Manually merge your conflict file minmax_ab_engine.e and ticktactoe.e (Open those files and edit them)

Step 2: Add to stage by git add -A

Step 3: Commit those files by git commit -m 'merge conflict files

Step 4: Pull the update from the remote by git pull origin MiniMaxAb

Step 5: Push your update to remote git push origin MiniMaxAb

In case you want to revert, you can bypass step 4,5
