Okay till here..but when i click on "revert commit" i get a window saying:
"You have unmerged files in your working directory.Resolve them and commit them before trying the revert again."
That's what's called a merge conflict: Git's automatic merge tool could not revert the commit cleanly so you'll have to resolve the conflict manually, ie. edit the source code of the files that contain conflicts. The Net is full of documentation, guides and tutorials on how to resolve Git conflicts.
If you seriously want to maintain your own fork of Stockfish that's different from the official version then I'm afraid you'll need to learn at least the fundamentals of Git and C++ sooner or later. Forking things just ain't easy, and keeping forks in sync with upstream is definitely not easy. I'm sorry if this sounds discouraging.
The easiest way would be that the Stockfish team add again these 2 settings!
Problem solved for me..

Hi,
I am sorry this github experience is creating a lot of problems for you. Actually the two options were removed because although the naming was nice, the two options were very technical and users keep insisting in asking questions / documentations/ manuals etc about them and at the end any easy explanation was not satisfactory and the real explanation was too technical and really out of the reach of a casual user. So I decided to remove them and magically a lot of pressure on the "questions" support subforum of Stockfish site disappeared. And I am glad of it.
Given that there is really no reason for a user to tweak them, apart from a catchy name that was stimulating user curiosity, I have removed...and I am sorry but I don't think to revert them back.
And i would not ask for it ,if i don't get better results with these 2 settings..
therefore i don't give up so easy on this github experience..
Also i can't use it..but like with your steps i can make a compile now!
So..if it's possible to add these two settings in my own compiles and it's not to difficult to do myself then i need just a guide like , how to add these two settings in a compile.
Once i have these steps in a text-file..i do myself then!
After 4 January we get a lot new compiles ,non off them are better then the last one i have with these 2 settings more.
It will take time to pass SF121227 in my list (with changed settings).

What are your new values? We could give them a run on Fishtest.
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

It's because Marco i start to learn make a compile,because i wanted these settings back..needed a extra code-line to get them back,but was from older source..so i had to prove that my settings where better..and Marco keep his word!
I had to pass 3 steps in the Stockfish Testframe ,and it did..and now in the new compiles you see them back!
