Solution

git revert — Create new commits which reverse the effect of earlier ones. More information: <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-revert>.

Revert the most recent commit:

git revert HEAD

Revert the 5th last commit:

git revert HEAD~4

Revert a specific commit:

git revert {{0c01a9}}

Revert multiple commits:

git revert {{branch_name~5}}..{{branch_name~2}}

git revert --abort
