TASK 109: Git Revert Some Changes

Requirements

The Nautilus application development team was working on a git repository /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/apps present on Storage server in Stratos DC. However, they reported an issue with the recent commits being pushed to this repo. They have asked the DevOps team to revert repo HEAD to last commit. Below are more details about the task:

• In /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/apps git repository, revert the latest commit ( HEAD ) to the previous commit (JFYI the previous commit hash should be with initial commit message ).

• Use revert apps message (please use all small letters for commit message) for the new revert commit.

---

Steps

SSH to the Storage server and switch to root. For the server credentials, check out the Project Nautilus documentation.

sshpass -p '**********' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no  natasha@172.16.238.15
sudo su -
