To switch between Git commits, you can use the git checkout command followed by the SHA-1 hash of the commit you want to switch to.

  1. First, find the commit you want to switch to by running git log or git reflog to view a list of commits.
  2. Copy the SHA-1 hash of the commit you want to switch to.
  3. Run the following command to switch to the desired commit:
1
git checkout <commit_hash>


Replace <commit_hash> with the actual SHA-1 hash of the commit you want to switch to.

  1. You can now view the files and code as they were in that specific commit. To switch back to the latest commit, run git checkout


Keep in mind that switching between commits can cause your working directory to change, so make sure to commit or stash any changes before doing so.
