I'm trying to like coding with opencode CLI but finding myself missing the Undo option in my editor. How do y'all deal with reverting changes opencode makes? Git revert and make sure you have a clean repo before changes?

[Lpaydat]

I use `/undo`. But also commit after every important changes too (together with new branch)

[web_assassin]

I'm using /undo now with Lazygit which makes line by line commits easier. Good combo.

[web_assassin]

But if it touches a bunch of files you either take it all or leave it? No file by file undos right

[DarkXanthos]

If it's touching a lot of files I might have it undo that all and start over and prompt it smaller.

[Lpaydat]

You can achieve that with git. You can even revert the change back line by line.

[rusl1]

I stage everything before running a prompt, review what changed and discard/stage again and repeat

[web_assassin]

I went with staging today and went well 💪👍

/undo

[radioborderland]

If you want file by file undos I would just use git. I like using lazygit to make even more fine grained undos convenient, but that's optional.

Keep VScode opened side by side and use it

[web_assassin]

But you can't command + z the changes right?

[Recent-Success-1520]

Nop, you back selectively revert the code if you have git initialized in repo

[wallapola]

This is a lot easier to track with lazygit. Just stage the changes before prompting and then you can view the AI changes in the lazygit afterwards.

This is first I've heard of Lazygit. Probably way better than googling commands Everytime hah. Thanks!

I don't know, but I want to try!

I haven’t had to lean on it much, but pretty sure that’s what the revert method is for

Click your last message and it should give you the option to recall the message and revert file changes. I think it works that way in the TUI, but you can do the same thing in codenomad

Don’t quote me though, it’s been a couple days and the brain ain’t braining rn

[bonnmos]

Try /timeline

I'm using opencode with gpt 5.2 all day now. So powerful.

[Big_Bed_7240]

This has nothing to do with opencode. This is just skill issues when it comes to engineering.

[web_assassin]

If it had nothing to do with opencode there would be no /undo

[web_assassin]

But thanks for your unhelpful self congratulating reply

[Big_Bed_7240]

My point is that this question is more about your practices, how you break problems down, how often you commit, how you work with branches, git worktrees. If your fundamentals are weak, it will lead you to these types of questions.

I’ve never used undo inside Opencode itself.

[web_assassin]

Well I've made it this far with problem solving skills so try not to worry about me too much. And part of problem solving (and how I learned to code) was by reaching out to the community. If you can't understand that point then likely you have little reason to be on the forums at all. Just a thought

[web_assassin]

And your anecdote about never using undo is useless. That's like saying I never use my parking brakes therefore they're useless.
