I accidentally merged two branches in my project and now I'm facing some issues. I want to know how I can revert this merge and go back to the previous state of my project.

To revert a merge commit in git, you can use the revert command along with the -m option.

The -m option allows you to specify the mainline parent of the merge commit.

The mainline parent is typically the branch that you merged into.

In most scenarios, it is advisable to use -m 1 to indicate the first parent as the mainline.
