git reset [options] [commit] [--] [files...]
DESCRIPTION
git reset moves the current HEAD to a specified state. It can unstage files, undo commits, or completely discard changes depending on the mode used.The three main modes are `--soft` (keeps changes staged), `--mixed` (unstages changes, the default), and `--hard` (discards all changes). When given file paths, it unstages those files without moving HEAD.
