Rollback to previous version in Gitlab

Question

I am new to Gitlab. We work on local branches in GIT and then push the changes before it get's merged to Master.

So I was trying to rollback a commit. But I somehow messed up and ended up bringing my colleagues commit's into my local branch.

Now I am trying to go back to previous version in Gitlab.
If you see the attached image, I am currently in the latest version but I want to go back to version 9. Is there anyway I can do this ?

Answer 1

On GitLab Web UI itself, the revert operation is documented here

The alternative would be to locally reset your branch to HEAD~ and force push, which can work if you are the only one using this branch.
But reverting is safer, and only add a new commit (instead of overriding the recent branch history). That new commit will cancel the changes done in the commit you are reverting.

Answer 2

I also encountered same situation, where I wanted a way to revert to some commit, specially when I am unable to perform git reset. I tested it on a little test project (nginx + index.html) just to see if I could revert the content of index.html to a previous version (commit). you can proceed to git repo of the project -> CI/CD -> Jobs then pressed 🔄 button of the "build" and "deploy" stages associated with my desired commit, & it worked i.e. the content was reverted to that commit.

note that in the attached img the 🔄 signs are disappeared after I've run the jobs again,

a4b3a0a4 was my initial commit, whereas 2f4d780e was the latter.

Hope it helps.
