You can simply use git revert.

Revert commit 2, and that will create a new commit which cancels any changes introduced by said commit 2.

If git revert (which operates at the commit level, and not for a single file) reverts too many file, you can reset the files you did not want reverted.

git revert --no-commit <commit hash> # Revert, don't commit it yet
git reset # Unstage everything
git add yourFilesToRevert # Add the file to revert
git commit -m "commit message"
git reset --hard # Undo changes from the part of the revert that we didn't commit
