revert

Type

command

Summary

Restores a stack to its state when last saved, deleting all changes made since the last save.

Syntax

revert [<targetStack>]

Description

Use the revert command to back out of any changes made to a stack since the last save.

If no targetStack is specified, the revert command acts on the current stack.

The revert command also undoes changes made to other stacks stored in the same stack file. That is, if you revert a main stack, all substacks of that stack also revert to the last save, and if you revert a substack, its main stack and any other substacks also revert.

Parameters

targetStack		An optional stack reference.
