title: Reset to the very first commit in Git?
body: <p>Is there anything equivalent to the <code>--root</code> flag in the <code>rebase</code> command for the <code>reset</code> command?</p>
  
  <pre><code>git reset --root
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Say I want to reset to the very first commit in my current branch: do I have to manually dig through the history and find the hash of that commit, or is there a simple way to reset to the first available commit?</p>
