Soft Reset
- Command: git reset --soft <commit>
- Description: Moves HEAD to the specified commit, keeping changes in the staging area.
- Example:
```
git reset --soft HEAD~1 
```
  This command resets the HEAD to the previous commit but keeps the changes from that commit staged.
Mixed Reset
- Command: git reset --mixed <commit>
- Description: Moves HEAD to the specified commit and unstages changes but keeps them in the working directory.
- Example:
```
git reset --mixed HEAD~1 
```
  This command resets the HEAD to the previous commit and removes the changes from the staging area but leaves them in the working directory.
Hard Reset
- Command: git reset --hard <commit>
- Description: Moves HEAD to the specified commit and discards all changes in the working directory and staging area.
- Example:
```
git reset --hard HEAD~1 
```
  This command resets the HEAD to the previous commit and discards all changes made since that commit.
