To get the previous state of the repository in Git, you can use the "git checkout" command with the commit hash of the previous state.


Here's how you can do it:

  1. Use the "git log" command to find the commit hash of the previous state that you want to revert to. The commit hash is a unique identifier for each commit in Git.
  2. Copy the commit hash of the previous state that you want to revert to.
  3. Use the following command to checkout the previous state:
1
git checkout <commit-hash>


Replace '' with the actual commit hash that you copied in step 2.


After running this command, your working directory will be updated to the state of the repository at the commit specified by the commit hash. You can now work with the code at that previous state.
