Hi @Hemav009
Revert mean creates a new pull request that contains one revert of the merge commit from the original merged pull request.
i.e when you merged your PR into the main repo .Then again you Revert that PR .Then the changes you made for the that PR will be removed.

Here is the link to understand : https://youtu.be/cZ0LSVnegH8

Hope it is helpful!!

When we talk about reverting a pull request (PR) in the context of GitHub, we're essentially discussing a strategic maneuver to address unforeseen issues or undesirable changes introduced by a previously merged PR.
Imagine you've merged a PR into the main repository, but upon further testing or review, you discover that the changes have unintended consequences—maybe they introduce bugs, conflict with existing functionality, or don't align with project goals. Reverting the PR allows you to roll back those changes efficiently and effectively.
Reverting isn't about erasing history; instead, it's a methodical way to maintain code quality and project integrity. By creating a new commit that effectively undoes the changes introduced by the original PR, you're restoring stability to the codebase while preserving a clear record of what transpired. This approach not only helps in swiftly addressing issues but also facilitates collaboration by ensuring that the main branch reflects the desired state of the project.
You can learn more about reverting a pull request in (https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/reverting-a-pull-request).
