This is a fantastic Git cheat sheet! I especially appreciate the inclusion of git restore and git blame. These commands are super helpful for quickly reverting changes or understanding code history.

Messed up on your code and want to revert to the last commit you did?

git reset --hard HEAD # Reverts your code to the last commit.

Want to go back exactly N commits instead?
git reset --hard HEAD~N # Resets to N commits ago without needing a specific commit hash.

Need to find a specific older commit hash instead?
git log -n N # Shows the latest N commits so you can grab a specific hash.
git reset --hard # Reset to that specific commit hash.

Used this hundreds of times!
