QUICK NOTE ON HEAD

• HEAD can also be used to refer to the current working directory state.
• If there are some changes in your project which are not committed. You can do git diff HEAD, and it will show the difference between the last commit and the working directory.
• Resetting the head means resetting to the latest commit.
• You can use a number with a head to go to a particular commit. For example, HEAD means latest commit, HEAD{1} means one commit before head, and similarly HEAD{n} means n commit before head.

In Git, the term “HEAD” refers to the current branch’s latest commit or you can say that to the tip of the current branch. To undo changes or revert to a previous state for a particular branch, resetting to HEAD is a common method. Resetting to HEAD can help you discard changes in your working directory, unstaged changes, or even move the branch pointer to a different commit.

In this article, we will cover various approaches to reset to HEAD in Git.
