It is possible in GitKraken to revert changes of a single file to an earlier commit instead of reverting an entire commit?
Answer
Answer
A revert in the git-sense of it can only be performed on a commit. It introduces a new commit that exactly negates the reverted commits' changes. See here. GitKraken supports this: right click on a commit, Revert <branch> to this commit.
What you want to accomplish, however, can be done via git checkout. I do not think GitKraken supports this funtionality for a single file yet. You can, however, use the command line.
Reset single file via command line
git checkout <commit> <file>Check out a previous version of a file. This turns the
<file>that resides in the working directory into an exact copy of the one from<commit>and adds it to the staging area.
Documentation can be found here.
git checkout HEAD~1 <filename> will thus reset a single file to the commit before the current HEAD.
