Roll back a file in Bitbucket itself?

biko

So I have a dev making a file change and then a commit.
This file change wasn't good and I want to roll back to previous file version.

Now, I'd rather do this in BB if possible without having to pull code down and editing file to look like before.
The reason is that in certain cases a rollback is better than a new file edit.

Can I roll back in BB itself?

No, I don't think so.
Pull down the latest code, and either use git reset, git revert, or git checkout.

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-revert

Note: git revert is used to record some new commits to reverse the effect of some earlier commits (often only a faulty one). If you want to throw away all uncommitted changes in your working directory, you should see git-reset[1], particularly the --hard option. If you want to extract specific files as they were in another commit, you should see git-checkout[1], specifically the git checkout <commit> -- <filename> syntax.

If you are just reverting to an older commit which you have locally, you can use git push origin <oldcommitid>:branchname.

Don't do this lightly though!

Thanks all, I finally gave up, pulled down in Eclipse and made the edit myself.
Even in Eclipse I couldn't find an easy way to revert to a previous version. Nuts..

You really need to use the command line to utilize the full power of git.

I agree with this. Having said that, here is another option http://www.eclipse.org/egit/
