You can revert a pull request after it's been merged to the upstream branch.

About reverting a pull request

Reverting a pull request on GitHub creates a new pull request that contains one revert of the merge commit from the original merged pull request. To revert pull requests, you must have write permissions in the repository.

Reverting a pull request

Note: You may need to revert the individual commits in your pull request if either of the following is true.

  • Reverting the pull request causes merge conflicts

  • The original pull request was not originally merged on GitHub. For example, someone could have merged the pull request using a fast-forward merge on the command line.

For more information about using Git to manually revert individual commits, see Git revert in the Git documentation

  • Under your repository name, click Pull requests.

  • In the "Pull Requests" list, click the pull request you'd like to revert.

  • Near the bottom of the pull request, click Revert. If the Revert option isn't displayed, you'll need to ask the repository administrator for write permissions.
