How can I revert a merge commit in sourcetree

[Oliver Secluna]

Hi,

I work using pull requests and sometimes they need to be reverted. The command line workflow I use is as documented here: http://tildedave.com/2012/11/24/reverting-a-github-pull-request.html

Basically I create a new branch, find the merge commit SHA and then run

git revert -m 1 SHA

In sourcetree there is the 'Reverse commit...' option, which does a git revert but it will not work on a merge commit because it will not use '-m' (see https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/322559/what-exactly-is-reverse-commit).

How can I use sourcetree to revert a merge commit?

Thanks

If you want to do it in SourceTree, you can only do it with a custom action.

I already created a feature request for this, you can vote for it here.

Zero reference for the command to enter into the custom action to actually answer the question?

Script to run:

git

Parameters:

revert -n -m 1 $SHA

(I prefer it not to automatically commit so I can review the changes, hence the -n parameter)
