One of the major benefits of using Git is the ability to undo changes. There are a lot of different ways to do this.

Soft Reset

the index (staged but not committed changes) and the worktree (unstaged and not committed changes).

1git reset --soft HEAD~1

The –soft option is useful if you just want to go back to a previous commit, but keep all of your changes. Committed changes will be uncommitted and staged, while uncommitted changes will remain staged or unstaged as before. HEAD~1 refers to the commit 1 before the current commit.

Hard reset

If we don’t want to keep the changes, we can do a hard reset:

1git reset --hard COMMITHASH
