Suppose we will revert the content of  **file1.txt** to his version in a previous commit.

First we search for all the commits where **file1.txt** has been modified (or created).
<code bash>
git log --oneline file1.txt
</code>
Then will return something like that, with the commit hash codes in the first column :
<code txt>
4edb624 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) more updates
431261f add some new stuff
2ae05f4 update some files
71aa3c6 initial commit
</code>
Here we choose for example that commit **"update some files"** with hash code **2ae05f4** has the correct version of **file1.txt** and we revert the content of **file1.txt** with :
<code bash>
git checkout 2ae05f4 -- file1.txt
