How Do I Revert All Local Changes in Git Managed Project to Previous State?

To revert all local changes in a Git-managed project to the state of the previous commit, you can use the following commands:

git reset --hard HEAD

This command resets the current branch to the state of the HEAD commit, which is the last commit on the current branch. The --hard option discards all changes in the working directory and staging area, reverting the repository to the state of the previous commit.

Note:

• Be cautious when using git reset --hard, as it permanently removes all local changes, including uncommitted work. Make sure you don't have any important changes that you want to keep.
• If you have any untracked files in your working directory that you want to keep, make sure to back them up before running the command, as git reset --hard will delete untracked files.
