Rewinds the current branch by a given number of commits.
- Use `git reset <commit>` to rewind the current branch to the specified `<commit>`.
- 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] <commit>
```
```shell
git reset 3050fc0d3
# Rewinds back to `3050fc0d3` but keeps changes in the working directory
git reset --hard c0d30f305
# Rewinds back to `c0d30f305` and deletes changes
```
