Git (TortoiseGit) – How to revert a single file to a previous revision and then undo the revert?

Question

From the command line: git checkout is probably what you want.

The documentation shows an example of:

$ git checkout master~2 Makefile

to revert Makefile to two revisions back in the master branch

From within TortoiseGit (via Windows Explorer) it looks like you can do this with the following steps:

Navigate in Explorer to the folder where the file is.

Right-click on the file you want to revert, choose Show log from the TortoiseGit context menu

In the top section (“graph”) select the revision that has the version of the file you want to revert to

In the third section (file list) right-click the file and choose Revert to this revision

You should get a message like 1 files revert to e19a77
