To demonstrate let’s create an example repo using the command line examples below: The ref pointers are then updated to point at the new revert commit making it the tip of the branch. A revert operation will take the specified commit, inverse the changes from that commit, and create a new "revert commit". Git revert also takes a specified commit, however, git revert does not move ref pointers to this commit. Other 'undo' commands like, git checkout and git reset, move the HEAD and branch ref pointers to a specified commit. The git revert command is used for undoing changes to a repository's commit history. Instead of manually going in, fixing it, and committing a new snapshot, you can use git revert to automatically do all of this for you. This can be useful, for example, if you’re tracking down a bug and find that it was introduced by a single commit. Reverting should be used when you want to apply the inverse of a commit from your project history.
This prevents Git from losing history, which is important for the integrity of your revision history and for reliable collaboration.

Instead of removing the commit from the project history, it figures out how to invert the changes introduced by the commit and appends a new commit with the resulting inverse content. The git revert command can be considered an 'undo' type command, however, it is not a traditional undo operation.
