revert a part of a commit git code example
Example: git revert only part of commit
Use the --no-commit (-n) option to git revert, then unstage the changes, then use git add --patch:
$ git revert -n $bad_commit # Revert the commit, but don't commit the changes
$ git reset HEAD . # Unstage the changes
$ git add --patch . # Add whatever changes you want
$ git commit # Commit those changes
Note: The files you add using git add --patch are the files you want to revert, not the files you want to keep.
