Hi,

i am having trouble reverting my project to an older version in git. I was trying to do it via the get button, but it says,
that this is not possible on a directory, only on single files. But i don't want to revert every single file manually, i want to revert
the whole project.

Is there a way, i can do that?

Thanks and cheers
Sven

Hi Sven,

Try 'Version Control - Git - Reset HEAD' and specify target commit you want to revert to.

That depends on what do you want to achieve. Feel free to check the available options.

"available options" link is dead

I found this link that describes it briefly...https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/using-git-integration.html#reset-HEAD
