What is git reset and how does it work?

Git reset is a command used to undo changes in your Git repository. It can modify the index and working directory.

Can you explain the different types of git reset?

Sure! There are three main types: soft, mixed, and hard. Soft keeps changes in the staging area, mixed unstages them, and hard discards all changes.

When would I use a hard reset?

A hard reset is useful when you want to completely discard changes and revert to a previous commit. Be cautious, as this cannot be undone!

Is there a way to recover changes after a hard reset?

If you haven't lost the commit reference, you can use the reflog to find and recover lost commits.
