↩️ Oops! Undoing ChangesIntermediate0/5

📖 Concepts

RevertCreates a NEW commit that undoes the changes from a previous commit. Safe for shared history — it doesn't rewrite the past.

Reset (--soft)Moves the branch pointer backward but keeps changes in the staging area. The working directory stays untouched.

Reset (--mixed)Moves the branch pointer and unstages changes. This is the default mode. Changes remain in your working directory.

Reset (--hard)Moves the branch pointer, unstages changes, AND resets the working directory. Destructive — uncommitted changes are lost.

Notice the latest commit "Oops bad commit" is the last entry. We want to undo it.

🧩 The Pre-PR CleanupUnsolved

📖 Story

Your branch has five commits but it's a mess: - "WIP" (empty, no files changed) - "add login" (vague) - "fix typo" (should be squashed into the one above) - "add logout" (fine) - "actually add logout" (duplicate, should be squashed) Your team requires clean commits before review. Use interactive rebase to produce exactly two commits: "Add login feature" and "Add logout feature".

Goal

Solve the problem by using the correct Git commands.
