+#### Reverts
+In Changesets innerhalb von Git-Repositories steht in der oberen rechten Ecke (unter "Tag erstellen") ein Knopf zum Reverten des Commits.
+
+**Hinweis:** Der Revert-Knopf wird nur dann angezeigt, wenn der Commit genau einen Vorgänger hat.
+Commits mit mehr als einem Vorgänger (z.B. Merge-Commits) und initiale Commits ohne Vorgänger können nicht zurückgesetzt werden.
+
+![Repository-Code-Changeset-Revert](assets/repository-code-changeset-revert.png)
+
+Für einen Revert ist nach Drücken des Knopfs ein Branch auszuwählen, auf welchem der Revert angewendet wird.
+Gelangt man aus der Commit-Übersicht eines Branches in den Commit, ist die Auswahl automatisch vorgenommen.
+
+Ebenso kann eine Commit-Nachricht für den Revert angegeben werden. 
+Sie ist automatisch ausgefüllt; es empfiehlt sich jedoch aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit, in dieser den Revert zu begründen.
+
+Mit Drücken von "Revert" wird man auf den neu erstellten Revert-Commit automatisch weitergeleitet, sofern kein Fehler auftritt.

+#### Reverts
+Changesets within Git repositories provide a "Revert" button at the upper right-hand corner (beneath "Create Tag").
+
+**Note:** The revert button is only displayed on commits with exactly one parent element.
+Commits with multiple predecessors (e.g. merge commits) and initial commits without parent cannot be reverted.
+
+![Repository-Code-Changeset-Revert](assets/repository-code-changeset-revert.png)
+
+After pressing the button and before reverting a changeset, you need to first select the branch where it is applied upon.
+This selection is already filled out if you reached the changeset by the changeset overview of a specific branch.
+
+Furthermore, you may type a commit message for the revert. 
+It is filled out with a default message; however, it is recommended to choose a reasonable custom message in order to keep the changeset history comprehensible.
+
+By pressing "Revert", you're going to be forwarded to the newly created commit including the revert if no error occurs.
