Question

You can revert only one file to a specified revision.

First you can check on which commits the file was changed.

git log path/to/file.txt

Then you can checkout the file with the revision number.

git checkout 3cdc61015724f9965575ba954c8cd4232c8b42e4 /path/to/file.txt

After that you can commit and push it again.

Reset the file in a correct state  commit  and push again    If you re sure nobody else has fetched your changes yet  you can use --amend when committing  to modify your previous commit  i e  rewrite history   and then push  I think you ll have to use the -f option when pushing  to force the push  though

update  added safer method  preferred method    check out the previous  unchanged  state of your file  notice the double dash   git checkout HEAD  --  path to file  commit it   git commit -am  revert changes on this file  not finished with it yet   push it  no force needed   git push  get back to your unfinished work  again do  3 times arrow up    git checkout HEAD  --  path to file    effectively  uncommitting    To modify the last commit of the repository HEAD  obfuscating your accidentally pushed work  while potentially running into a conflict with your colleague who may have pulled it already  and who will grow grey hair and lose lots of time trying to reconcile his local branch head with the central one   To remove file change from last commit    to revert the file to the state before the last commit  do   git checkout HEAD   path to file  to update the last commit with the reverted file  do   git commit --amend  to push the updated commit to the repo  do   git push -f    Really  consider using the preferred method mentioned before

If you want to remove the file from the remote repo  first remove it from your project with --cache option and then push it   git rm --cache  path to file git commit -am  Remove file  git push    This works even if the file was added to the remote repo some commits ago  Remember to add to  gitignore the file extensions that you don t want to push
