How to get rid of "REVERTING" in GIT

Question

I did something wrong on my code and I searched some command to revert back to the previous version but things goes worser. I have no idea what to do to fix the problem. So scary~~~

I have tried many commands and no idea what I have used once I used git revert to get back to normal working status. In this stage my code is working but how can I get back to master branch?

Now the terminal show: 

zswenjin:~/workspace/project_1 ((f9f01be...)|REVERTING) $ 


That is git log:

Answer 1

If you just want to get back to master:

You should be able to exit the "reverting" state by

git revert --abort

It appears you will then be in detached head state. The information you've given doesn't tell us how you got into that state, or whether you have made any changes while in detached head (which could then be stored in unreachable commits). If so, you might want to create a branch or tag before moving on, to ensure that those changes are recoverable later.

Furthermore at this point you might want to say

git status

to see if there are any uncommitted changes.

Once you're sure you want to go back to master, you should be able to

git checkout master

It's possible local uncommitted changes would interfere with this, in which case you'd have to decide whether to commit them, stash them, discard them, or postpone the checkout until later when you've done one of the above.

Answer 2

As git status tells you, you have two options:

You are currently reverting commit 3706245. (fix conflicts and run "git revert --continue") (use "git revert --abort" to cancel the revert operation)

What you need to do depends on what you want to accomplish. Do you want to cancel the revert, do git revert --abort. Do you want to revert this commit, then fix the conflicts and do git revert --continue.
