[All CGOA Questions]

Which of these Git commands will enact a rollback of the configuration to a previous commit?

Agit branch

Bgit revert

Cgit commit

Dgit push

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

In GitOps, rollback is performed by reverting the system's Desired State stored in Git. This is done with the git revert command, which creates a new commit that undoes the changes introduced by a previous commit.

''Because Git provides an immutable history of changes, rollbacks are straightforward. Reverting to a previous configuration is accomplished by reverting the commit in Git, which then allows the reconciler to apply the earlier desired state.''

Thus, the correct answer is B: git revert.

Right, it's about rolling back, not branching.

Definitely not A or C, those don't roll back.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think git revert was the correct choice for rolling back to a previous state.

I feel like git commit is about saving changes, so it can't be the right answer for rollback.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about git branch being used for creating branches, not rolling back.

I think git revert is the one that actually undoes changes by creating a new commit.

I always get git revert and git reset mixed up. Maybe I should just use a time machine instead.

B) git revert sounds right to me. I remember learning that's the command to undo changes and go back to a previous state of the repo. I'm pretty sure that's the answer, but I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. We want to roll back the configuration to a previous commit, so that rules out C) git commit and D) git push. A) git branch is for creating and managing branches, not for rollbacks. That leaves B) git revert as the best option.

I'm not totally sure about this one. I know git revert is used for undoing changes, but I'm not confident that's the right answer here. I'll have to think it through carefully.
