Hey everyone, I really need some advice. I'm new to programming and have been working on a project with my team using Git and Visual Studio Code. After troubleshooting Git for a while, I accidentally pulled in a ton of changes from the main branch without properly syncing up my own changes. In the heat of the moment, I merged my changes with the revisions, and somehow wiped out my entire team's progress. I tried to undo the last commit, but I got an error about a soft reset not being possible. I ended up undoing even older changes, and now I'm left with a version of the project that has basically nothing. The worst part is that I haven't pushed anything yet, but I'm feeling completely lost and panicking. I just want to get back to the latest working version in the repository and discard all the mess I created. Is there a way to reset everything I've done and pull the latest revision like nothing ever happened? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If things got messy locally, consider just deleting your local repo and recloning it from the remote. That'll give you a fresh start. Just make sure any important changes from your local work are not lost.
Thanks! I appreciate the suggestion. How do I reclone it, though?
