+Rewinds the current branch by a given number of commits.
+
+- Use `git reset HEAD~<n>` to rewind the current branch `<n>` commits.
+- This command will uncommit and unstage changes, but leave them in the working directory.
+- You can use the `--hard` flag to uncommit, unstage and delete changes instead.
+
+```shell
+git reset [--hard] HEAD~<n>
+```
+
+```shell
+git reset HEAD~5
+# Rewinds back 5 commits but keeps changes in the working directory
+
+git reset --hard HEAD~3
+# Rewinds back 3 commits and deletes changes
+```
