Git Revert vs Reset

Beginner ✓Intermediate ✓AdvancedProfessional

Advanced · 3 — Production skills · ~10 min · Module 9: Git, GitHub and CI/CD

What is this?

Git Revert vs Reset is a key part of ShopNest Cloud-Native — your .NET microservices learning project. In plain terms: it helps Inventory Service work correctly in a distributed system where each app deploys and scales on its own.

Why should you care?

You care about this when more than one developer touches ShopNest and you need safe merges and automatic test-and-deploy pipelines.

See it live — copy this example

Create a Web API project (dotnet new webapi), paste the code, then run dotnet run.

git checkout -b feature/order-saga
git commit -m "feat(order): add PlaceOrder saga consumer"
git push -u origin feature/order-saga

Run Example »

This lesson uses terminal or setup steps. Run commands on your computer — the live editor appears on coding lessons.

What happened?

  • The example shows Git Revert vs Reset wired into Inventory Service.
  • Read each line, run it locally, then change one setting and observe what breaks or improves.
  • That is how teams learn in production too — small experiments, not big bang rewrites.

Try it yourself

  1. Open or create the ShopNest project area for Inventory Service.
  2. Apply the Git Revert vs Reset pattern from the lesson example.
  3. Run dotnet build && dotnet run (or docker compose up when the lesson uses containers).
  4. Change a string or number in the example and run again — predict the output first.
  5. Break the code on purpose (remove a semicolon), read the compiler error, then fix it.

Remember

Git Revert vs Reset connects to Inventory Service in ShopNest Cloud-Native. Practice by editing the example yourself — do not only read. Move on when you can explain this topic in your own words without looking.

Real-world: HDFC-style fund transfer

Transfer, ledger, fraud check, and SMS run as separate services with idempotency keys. Saga compensates if fraud blocks after debit.

Outcome: Salary-day load handled without duplicate debits or shared-database locks.
