How to Delete a Commit in Sourcetree
Use this interactive demo to learn how to delete a commit in Sourcetree.
📌 Why this matters
Reversing commits lets you cleanly undo problematic changes while preserving your project's history for team collaboration. Unlike simply deleting files or manually reverting code, this approach creates a new commit that explicitly undoes the previous one, maintaining a clear audit trail of what went wrong and how you fixed it.
This transparency becomes crucial during code reviews and when teammates need to understand project evolution, especially when the reversed commit contained sensitive data, introduced bugs, or broke compatibility with other systems.
