       git checkout <branch>
       git cherry-pick <hash>
       Remove the commit from the original branch (soft reset), removing commits but keeping staging directory in branch
               git checkout <original branch>
               git log
               git reset --soft <hash of correct commit>
               git status
       Remove the commit from the original branch (mixed reset), removing commits and files in staging directory in branch
               git checkout <original branch>
               git reset <hash>
               git status
       Remove the commit from the original branch (hard reset), removing commits and tracked files entirely in branch
               git checkout <original branch>
               git reset --hard <hash>
               git status
