Checkout old commit and make it a new commit [duplicate]

git

git rm -r .
git checkout HEAD~3 .
git commit

After the commit, files in the new HEAD will be the same as they were in the revision HEAD~3.

It sounds like you just want to reset to C; that is make the tree:

A-B-C

You can do that with reset:

git reset --hard HEAD~3

_{(Note: You said three commits ago so that's what I wrote; in your example C is only two commits ago, so you might want to use HEAD~2)}

You can also use revert if you want, although as far as I know you need to do the reverts one at a time:

git revert HEAD     # Reverts E
git revert HEAD~2   # Reverts D

That will create a new commit F that's the same contents as D, and G that's the same contents as C. You can rebase to squash those together if you want

eloone did it file by file with

git checkout <commit-hash> <filename>

but you could checkout all files more easily by doing

git checkout <commit-hash> .
