If you have a problem with the current GIT version, you can revert to a previous working version easily. The commands to use will be similar to these next lines which are then explained in more detail. You need "history" to do this, so should not have used the "depth 1" parameter on your GIT.
cd /<path>/cin5 # substitute your repo path name for cin5 git log # shows a list of versions depending on history depth specification git checkout <version> # choose a version number as listed |
The git log command produces a log file with hash values for commit keys to the level specifed if the the depth paramter was specified. The hash ids are the commit names to use when you use git checkout. Next is displayed sample output:

For the git checkout <version>, you would then keyin the line below for the following results:
git checkout f87479bd556ea7db4afdd02297fc00977412b873 Note: checking out 'f87479bd556ea7db4afdd02297fc00977412b873'. You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout. If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example: git checkout -b <new-branch-name> HEAD is now at f87479bd... more file size icon updates, and more to followend |
Later to get the repo back to current, use:
git checkout master |
