Description: The ‘git reset’ command is a fundamental tool in the Git version control system, designed to reset the index and working directory to the state of a specific commit. This command allows developers to undo changes in their commit history, facilitating version management and error correction. ‘Git reset’ can operate in different modes: ‘soft’, ‘mixed’, and ‘hard’, each with a distinct impact on the staging area and working directory. In ‘soft’ mode, changes are kept in the staging area, allowing the user to make adjustments before committing again. In ‘mixed’ mode, changes are removed from the staging area but remain in the working directory, enabling the user to review and modify files before re-adding them. Finally, ‘hard’ mode removes all changes from both the staging area and working directory, resetting the project state to the specified commit. This flexibility makes ‘git reset’ a powerful tool for version management, allowing developers to navigate and modify their commit history effectively.
