To revert a git branch along with all commits, you can use the git reset command. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Make sure you are on the branch that you want to revert. Switch to this branch if you are not already on it.
1
git checkout branch-name


  1. Use the git reset command with the --hard option to reset the branch to a specific commit. Replace commit-hash with the hash of the commit you want to revert to.
1
git reset --hard commit-hash


  1. After running the above command, all the commits after the specified commit will be removed from the branch, effectively reverting the branch back to that commit.


Please be cautious when using the git reset --hard command as it is a destructive operation and will erase all changes made after the specified commit. Make sure to backup any important changes before proceeding with the reset.
