Answer 1

You could revert the commit bb5678 with -n (no commit) option, then restore all other files except code/main.js, and then do a commit:

git revert -n bb5678
git status 

take note of any changed files, then checkout all the files listed by git status, except the one you want to revert

git checkout foo bar
git commit
