↩️ 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.
