Overview

This node operation reverts a specific commit in a GitLab project repository by calling the GitLab API endpoint for reverting commits. It is useful for automating the process of undoing changes introduced by a particular commit in a project, which can be helpful in continuous integration workflows or when managing code changes programmatically.

Use Case Examples

  1. Revert a commit by specifying the project ID and commit SHA to undo changes made by that commit.
  2. Automate rollback of problematic commits in a GitLab repository as part of a deployment pipeline.
