A developer accidentally commits sensitive data to a public repository. What steps should they take to rectify this?
- Use the "git revert" command to undo the commit
- Use "git reset" to remove the commit from history
- Create a new commit with the sensitive data removed
- Use "git commit --amend" to modify the last commit
The correct option is to use "git reset" to remove the commit from history. Reverting is used for creating a new commit that undoes the changes, while amending is used to modify the last commit. Reset is the appropriate choice for removing a commit from history.
