Resetting to a Previous Commit
In some cases, you may need to reset to a specific commit other than the HEAD. Git allows you to reset to any previous commit by referencing its commit hash or relative commit reference.
git reset --hard <commit-hash>
Replace `<commit-hash>` with the hash of the commit you want to reset to. This command resets the branch to the specified commit, discarding all subsequent commits and changes.
