I've also figured out the similar solution based on the comment here [1], as shown below: $ git show f18fbd1e16a1ca4215621768d17858c036086608 -- Public/CTAN/IDE/phonon/compile-install-phonon Public/CTAN/IDE/texstudio-org/texstudio.git.sh | git apply --reverse --3way Because the commit I want to revert is done a long time ago, which is not the parent of the commit I'm currently on, so I can't use the `~1` which indicates that I want to go back one commit from my current position.
