git checkout previous commit as new branch code example

Example 1: git checkout previous commit

git reset --hard HEAD~10
To rollback 10 commits back:

Example 2: git checkout previous commit HEAD

# Checkout a given commit.
# Doing so will result in a `detached HEAD` which mean that the `HEAD`
# is not pointing to the latest so you will need to checkout branch
# in order to be able to update the code.
git checkout <commit-id>

# Create a new branch forked to the given commit
git checkout -b <branch name>
