How to revert commit in Git

Did you ever create a commit that you wish never happened? Let's be honest - we all did. There is an easy way to revert it in Git.
It's as easy as performing git revert
operation in console:
git revert [here comes the commit id]
Let's say, your commit id is 17hg8w
. You would call it like this:
git revert 17hg8w
Note that this operation creates a new commit that reverts all of the changes instead of removing given commit from history.
