To reset changes in a Git branch to a specific commit, you can use the git reset command with the appropriate options. Here's how to do it:
First, make sure you are on the branch that you want to reset. You can check your current branch by running git branch.
$ git branch
* branch-name
...
Identify the specific commit to which you want to reset your branch. You can use git log to see a list of commits in the branch, along with their commit IDs.
$ git log
commit abcdef1234567890 (HEAD -> branch-name)
...
commit 1234567890abcdef
...
Copy the commit ID that corresponds to the commit you want to reset your branch to.
Once you have the commit ID, run the following command to reset your branch to that commit:
$ git reset --hard <commit-id>
Replace <commit-id> with the actual commit ID you copied.
Note: The --hard option will remove all changes from your working directory and staging area, so ensure that you have committed any important changes or make a backup before running this command.
After running the above command, your branch will be reset to the specified commit, discarding any commits and changes made after that point.
HEAD is now at 1234567 Commit message
That's it! You have successfully reset your branch to a specific commit in Git.
