Reset to specific tag

git tag
git checkout <tag_name>
git reset --hard <tag_name>
# After resetting, you should force-push the changes to update the remote repository (if you've already pushed these changes)
git push origin <branch_name> --force

Please be extremely cautious when using git reset --hard as it can result in data loss. Make sure you have backups and communicate with your team if you are working in a collaborative environment.

git reset --hard HEAD
# or
git push origin <branch_name> --force

Again, be cautious with these commands, as they can lead to data loss. Ensure that you have backups and consider communicating with your team if you’re working in a collaborative environment.
