## Roll back
117
+
118
+
The above example is a trivial example of how to employ rolling back to a previous version. Rolling back is complicated. Depending on the complexity of your project, it may be more crtical to leverage git commands during a roll-back. Software applications may be an example of this complexity. However, for simpler roll-backs, the simple explanations below may save you a lot of time for an operation which you would otherwise rarely perform.

### File
121
+
122
+
Sometimes the easiest thing to do is grab the file (or subtext from a file) in a previous commit that is already displayed on GitHub. To do so.
123
+
124
+
1. Find your repository on GitHub
125
+
1. Click the "commits" tab
126
+
1. Click the SHA link for the commit which has the most recent working version
127
+
1. Click the filename representing the working file you want
128
+
1. Click View; Raw
129
+
1. Copy what you want and over-write your local repository with the previously working version
