Solution

  • If your commit was of merge type, which you were trying to revert then you can not do it in SourceTree. Merge commits cannot be cherry-picked / reverted.

    To revert merge commit you have to follow following syntax

    git revert -m 1 <commit-hash> 
    git commit -m "Reverting the last commit."
    git push -u origin master
