git checkout abc1234 . 

//(Type q to quit the git log)

//Stage All changes, commit with comment, and push to remote
git add -A
git commit -m "Revert commit: abc1234"

git checkout <commit hash>	# go to previous commit
git revert <commit hash>  	# revert action of going to previous commit

git checkout 0d1d7fc32
