I made a branch and made some local changes but I ended up messing up some of the project itself. How do I revert these local changes that weren't staged and did not commit. I'd want to get back to how old the project was originally without affecting any other branches or main

You can use git checkout path/to/the/file/with/local/changes to discard all changes in that particular file. If you want to discard all local changes that are not committed, you can use . as the path when running the command from the repository root directory: git checkout ..

If you want to selectively discard only some parts of the local changes, you can use the interactive git checkout --patch command, which will walk you through the local changes you have made, and lets you choose whether you want to discard them or not.
