In the below git reset command, the HEAD~3 is mentioned.
How is the numbering considered? And does it start from 0 or 1?

Al West:
In Git when you use the notation HEAD~3, it means “3 commits before the current commit that HEAD is pointing to.”

HEAD~1 refers to the commit immediately before the latest commit, etc.

The numbering starts from 1 with HEAD~1, not from 0. If you want to refer to the commit that HEAD currently points to, you’d simply use HEAD - though HEAD~0 will work also.
