Time Turner (Undo)

This feature is essentially an "Undo Button" for Git. It allows you to undo the last commit with three levels of severity:

1. Soft Undo​

Cancels the commit but leaves your files staged. Best for fixing typos or adding forgotten files.

  • Scenario: You committed "Added login" but forgot login.css.
  • Result: Files are green (staged), ready to commit again.

2. Mixed Undo​

Cancels the commit and unstages the files. Best for when you want to split work into multiple commits.

  • Scenario: You committed backend and frontend work together but want to separate them.
  • Result: Files are red (modified), keeping your work but not staged.

3. Hard Undo​

Destroys the commit and all changes. Reverts to the previous state.

  • Scenario: You want to trash the last commit completely.
  • Result: Everything from that commit is gone forever. Use with caution!
