The command "git undo" is not a built-in Git command. However, there are several Git commands that can be used to undo or revert previous actions. Some commonly used commands for undoing changes in Git include:

  1. git checkout: This command allows you to switch branches or restore files to a previous commit. By specifying a commit hash or branch name, you can undo changes that have been made.

  2. git revert: This command creates a new commit that undoes the changes introduced by a previous commit. It is a safe way to undo changes as it creates a new commit instead of modifying the commit history.

  3. git reset: This command is more powerful and can be used to undo commits, move the branch pointer to a specific commit, or unstage files that have been added to the staging area.

  4. git stash: This command allows you to temporarily save changes that you don't want to commit yet. It is useful when you want to switch branches or undo changes without losing your work.

Overall, "git undo" is not a specific command in Git, but the above commands can be used to achieve similar undo actions depending on your specific scenario.
