It is possible in GitKraken to revert changes of a single file to an earlier commit instead of reverting an entire commit? | ## Answer
A `revert` in the git-sense of it can only be performed on a commit. It introduces a new commit that exactly negates the reverted commits' changes. See [here](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-revert). GitKraken supports this: right click on a commit, `Revert <branch> to this commit`.

This replacement is placed in .git/refs/replace folder, so I wonder - how can I push this ... | Found the answer in [mailing-list](http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/187800 "mailing-list"):
```
git push origin 'refs/replace/*'
git fetch origin 'refs/replace/*:refs/replace/*'
```
Only explicit pushing and fetching do work right now in git. |
