To undo a rebase in Git, you can use the git reflog command to find the commit before the rebase, then reset the branch to that commit using the git reset --hard <commit> command. Here are the steps to undo a rebase in Git:

  1. Use the git reflog command to find the commit before the rebase. The reflog is a history of all the actions you've taken in your repository.
  2. Find the commit before the rebase in the reflog. It will be labeled as "rebase: HEAD -> ".
  3. Copy the commit hash of the commit before the rebase.
  4. Use the git reset --hard
  5. After running the reset command, your branch will be back to the state it was before the rebase.
  6. You may need to force push the changes to your remote repository using git push origin


Remember that using git reset --hard will discard any changes made after the commit you are resetting to, so make sure to back up any important changes before running this command.
