Handling Pushed Commits
If the commit has already been pushed to a remote repository, you will need to handle the remote history separately, typically involving a force push. This should be done with caution to avoid disrupting others’ work.
After performing the reset locally, force push to the remote repository:
git push origin HEAD --force
Warning: Force-pushing rewrites history on the remote branch, which can affect collaborators. Always communicate with your team before doing this.
