In one of the products we've worked on, we used ‘git’ for version controlling with GitLab as our hosting provider. In this article, we're going to discuss hands-on on git as well as the git branching strategies we follow. Along with recommendations on how to use git to accomplish work in a consistent and productive manner.
Git commands
git clone <remote origin="" url=""></remote>

To view commit history with SHA for current active branch
git reset — hard <commit sha="" branch="" name=""></commit>
To reset the active branch head to a particular commit or branch.
