Is there a way to reverse a patch on Netbeans?

Does simply copying the target file and repasting it will work?

Or can the patch affect mutliple modules and code?

  • A patch to core or a module? Is your code base under version control?

  • Usually a module, but core also. Info for both would be good. I don't fully understand version control, so I guess not, only patch the file on my computer with local host Aug 27, 2015 at 10:29
  • If you are not using version control for your site, then you will have to rely on the version history in Netbeans to revert a patch.

  • It is easier to patch with Drush, is it possible and reversible that way? Aug 27, 2015 at 10:40
