can we add this to v1.11.x ?

because it sounds very usefull and we dont loose track of it

[lunny]

@6543 but nobody are working on this even I think it's not difficult to implement.

[su-tiko]

Is there any plan to implement this feature? Thanks.

[6543]

@vjgarcera plan: well issue is till open ;)

But no dev has picked it jet, feel free to have a look

A commit could be reverted on the web UI, so reverting the PR's commit could revert that PR:

[lunny]

Yes, so we just need a button in the merged Pull Request View which can be linked to the same URL. It should not be a very big change from current codebase.

I would be also very interested in this feature. Also the goal is not to get a revert PR but to quickly put the branch back to its state before merging, which can be very useful in some cases of problems

[lunny]

If you mean reverting a commit, that has been implemented for a long time.

[germanne]

that's exactly my point, I'd like to be able to do that on the MR and viewout any "revert commit"! So reverting without any trace of the merge

[wxiaoguang]

That's hard-reset + force-push, which is an unacceptable operation in most development environments, especially when it is done on the "main" branch. I do not think Gitea should provide such support on the UI (it would cause more problems). If you really need to "revert a commit without any trace", you need to do that by your git client and tell all your developers what happens.

I thought this was available on Gitlab and indeed just checked and it's not, so ok my bad, sorry for that and thanks for the answer

[lunny]

I think this operation should be try to create a revert pull request. And of course, like @wxiaoguang said, sometimes it will fail.
