Basic Reset to HEAD
The simplest form of resetting to HEAD is accomplished using the `git reset` command followed by the `–hard` option. This command resets the current branch to the state of the last commit (HEAD), discarding any changes made to tracked files in the working directory.
git reset --hard HEAD
