How do I use pipelines to revert to a previous commit

Question

I am using pipelines to manage our production server repos and I pushed up some changes and I need to revert back to the previous commit.  If I simply reset my local repo to the commit I want to be the head and push the changes up and trigger the pipeline, will the files on the production server be reverted back to what they were before the final push?

Is there an example pipeline YAML that catches the pipeline errors and reverts the branch to previous state?

Hi Don,

If you run:

$ git revert <commit>

locally, and then push that change to Bitbucket, you should have the previous code in production again. Pipelines will be triggered whenever you push commits to Bitbucket (assuming your configuration allows it).
