Pull Request show lot of changes after revert commits

Question

I worked on a branch feature . I wanted to merge it to develop , so I did pull origin develop in feature before.

After that, I realized I had to push feature to staging instead of develop .

So I revert the last two commit and pushed them to the repo. But my pull request show me a lot of changes, as if I had did the changes of the merge mysself.

Any workaround?

A revert was not necessary: you could reset your staging branch to before the last merge (from the improper pull ), switch branch, and redo the git pull .

In your case, if nobody has pushed to staging, you can still reset locally, and force push the staging branch, to restore it to its previous state.
