git-revert(1): Revert existing commit

NAME

<commit>: Commit to revert.
-e|--edit: With this option, git-revert will let you edit the commit message prior committing the revert. This is the default if you run the command from a terminal.
--no-edit: With this option, git-revert will not start the commit message editor.
-n|--no-commit: Usually the command automatically creates a commit with a commit log message stating which commit was reverted. This flag applies the change necessary to revert the named commit to your working tree, but does not make the commit. In addition, when this option is used, your working tree does not have to match the HEAD commit. The revert is done against the beginning state of your working tree.
This is useful when reverting more than one commits' effect to your working tree in a row.
