It depends what you mean by reverting. You want to either do a "real" revert, ie creating another commit which is the exact opposite (diff-wise) of the commit you want to revert, or completely forgetting about the commit.

In the first case, as mentioned: git revert HEAD. In the commit message, mention the reason for the revert. Then push the result.

In the second case, git reset --hard HEAD~1. However, you'll need to force the push. If you're on branch master (and your remote is called origin), that would be git push origin +master.

git revert HEAD

That will back out the most recent commit. Then just push it up.

You can replace HEAD with the revision you want out.
