Resetting Specific Files
Sometimes, you may want to reset specific files while keeping others intact. Git provides the flexibility to achieve this by specifying the filenames or paths of the files you wish to reset.
git checkout HEAD -- <filename>
Replace `<filename>` with the name of the file you want to reset. This command retrieves the version of the file from the last commit and replaces the current version in the working directory with it.
