Rewinding back to a specific commit is a useful feature of Git that allows developers to undo changes or revert to an earlier version of their code.
In this lab, developers used Git to rewind back to a specific commit in a repository.
The command 'git reset' is used to rewind back to a specific commit, and 'git reset --hard' is used to delete changes and revert to an earlier version of the code.
Practice exercises are available for rewinding to a specific commit.
