To throw away local commits in Git, you can use either git reset or git rebase.

1. git reset: To discard a single commit, you can use the git reset command with the HEAD~ option to reset the branch pointer to the previous commit:

git reset HEAD~

This will effectively discard the latest commit and its changes, while preserving the changes in the rest of the repository.

To discard multiple commits, you can use the git reset command with the HEAD~<number> option, where <number> is the number of commits you want to discard:

git reset HEAD~<number>

For example, to discard the latest two commits, you would run:

git reset HEAD~2

Note: git reset discards commits permanently, so use this command with caution.

2 . git rebase: Another option for discarding local commits is to use git rebase in interactive mode. To do this, you would run the following command:

git rebase -i HEAD~<number>

where <number> is the number of commits you want to rebase. This will open an editor window showing a list of the latest commits and their commit messages. You can then choose to keep or discard each commit by marking it as either pick or drop.

For example, if you want to discard the latest two commits, you would run the following command:

git rebase -i HEAD~2

This will open an editor window where you can choose to keep or discard each of the latest two commits. When you're finished, save and close the editor window and Git will rebase the branch with the changes you specified.

Note: git rebase discards commits permanently, so use this command with caution. Additionally, git rebase can cause problems if other people have already pulled the discarded commits into their local repositories, so it's important to communicate your changes with other contributors before using git rebase
