Is there a way to revert to a previous commit in VS code?

Is there a way to revert to a previous git commit in VS code?

I know I can see the changes between commits and the differences in the working tree but I want to know how to reset to the previous commit in visual studio code.

I use GitLens for that:

  1. In the source control tab, open File History.
  2. Choose your commit, then right-click Commit.
  3. Click on Revert Commit....

You can use this option in the Gitlens "commits" section to reset any number of previous (local) commits: just right click on the commit you would like to reset your current local branch

enter image description here

Then a list appears to allow you to choose a suitable reset option, as usual:

In recent vscode (1.51.1 currently installed) Gitlens extension has been integrated in the source control side view, by the way, instead of having its own button in the sidebar as before.

With the source control icon selected, if you then click the ellipsis ... at the top right.

With v1.48 you will see a list of options for submenus: under Commit is Undo Last Commit. Under Changes is Discard All Changes.

Provided that you have GitLens extension installed you should be able to simply select "Restore" action from selected "File history" commit.
