Git reset options

Reset allows you to go back to a previous working state. This is useful in scenarios where you need to undo changes and start over. For example, if you want to start a feature or task from scratch and discard all your uncommitted work.

There are two reset options:

• Reset to latest local commit: This will discard all your uncommitted changes in your local branch. Any local commits that have not been pushed to remote will not be affected.
• Reset to latest remote commit: This will discard all your uncommitted changes and local commits that have not been pushed to remote. It will also pull the latest commits from remote.
