Revert multiple git commits using CLI

In this post, I’m going to show how to revert multiple git commits in one go using CLI. Let’s say this is the git history

A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> HEAD

In this example, we want to revert back to commit B. In your Git Bash, run the following commands

git reset --hard B
git reset --mixed E
git commit

This will create a new commit that reverts all your changes back to commit B.

Alternatively, you could just hard reset to commit B and force push. However, you would lose your git history. Also, force push is a dangerous operation and is disabled in our all repositories at work.
