Trinet requires a first class support for "Git PR reversal" to undoing or reverting changes introduced by a pull request (PR) in a Git repository. This can happen for various reasons, such as if the changes introduced by the PR are found to be problematic, introduce bugs, or if they are no longer needed. Currently, we're using a script as a condition in the rollbacks. We're looking for feature to auto-rollback or revert commits that undoes the changes introduced by the PR changes essentially by using
git revert
command followed by the commit hash of the PR or the specific commit(s) you want to revert.
```bash
git revert <commit-hash>
```
Further, the following would be a high value add to Rollback our PR processes at Trinet.
```bash
git reset --hard <commit-hash>
```
```bash
git cherry-pick -m 1 <commit-hash>
```
If the changes introduced by the PR are scattered across multiple commits, you can use an interactive rebase (
git rebase -i
) to selectively remove or modify the commits associated with the PR.
After reversing the changes and Rollback is executed, it's important to notify app teams about the reversal and any necessary follow-up actions to avoid any conflicts or confusion.
