How to Undo a Git Commit Without Losing Your Changes (git reset --soft)
We've all been there: You hit enter on `git commit -m "fixed bug"`, and a split second later, you realize you forgot to change a file, left a console.log in the code, or committed to the wrong branch. 🤦♂️
Don't panic! In this video, I'm showing you the ultimate safety net in Git: `git reset --soft`.
Unlike a hard reset (which can permanently delete your hard work), a soft reset gently un-commits your latest changes while keeping all of your code perfectly safe and staged in your terminal. It’s the perfect trick every junior developer and intern needs to know to keep their commit history clean and stress-free.
