How to Revert a Single File to an Older Commit?
You can use the following command to revert a file to an older version in another commit simply by specifying the commit hash and the file you wish to revert:
git checkout 45db03581b3b5581ed7cc44dbc -- file/to/restore
Basically, it has the following syntax:
git checkout <commit-ref> -- <filename>
How to Revert Multiple Files to an Older Commit?
If you wish to restore multiple files to a version in an earlier commit, simply append more file names at the end (separated by a space). For example:
git checkout 45db03581b3b5581ed7cc44dbc -- file1/to/restore file2/to/restore
