5,492 PointsContinuing with an older commit because of mistake
How do I go back with the checkout option and start working from an older commit to replace newer error filled code? I know how to check the logs and how to "check out" the code but how do I continue working with the old commit?
Thanks

. You may have to use --force
when pushing to a remote with this though.

11,679 PointsWhat are you looking to revert? A change in master, in the branch, or both? If the buggy commit exists in both master and the branch you may end up creating an orphan branch after reverting it.

5,492 PointsSince my last commit i have made various errors in my code and would like to jump back to that previous commit to avoid having to debug the newly erroneous code.
Thanks
