Keeping the Changes (Soft Reset)
If you want to undo the commit but keep the changes in your working directory for further modification, you can use a soft reset:
git reset --soft HEAD~1
- `HEAD~1` refers to the commit immediately before the latest one.
- `–soft` moves the current branch back by one commit but leaves your files as they were before the commit. The changes from the commit will remain staged, allowing you to modify them as needed.
