I would like to revert an older git known commit (not the last one, already pushed to upstream), but would like to affect only certain file types, eg *.java
. Other changes, such as changes to files of type *.xml
I would like to keep.
Any downstream changes to *.java
files should be undone as well.
# first revert your commit but without committing
git revert -n <commitToRevert>
# then restore your .xml files
git checkout <commitToRevert> -- *.xml
# and finally commit
git commit
If you know the commitid
you want to revert from, you could checkout the known files from the parent commit ( commitid^
). In your case the files are *.java
:
# checkout *.java files recursively from a parent commit of a known "commitid"
git checkout commitid^ -- `git ls-tree commitid -r --name-only | grep ".java"`
# Commit
git commit
A parent commit is denoted by a caret ( ^
) symbol after the commit hash.
