Git: fetch remote branch and force hard reset
Raw
gistfile1.txt
git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master
OR If you are on some other branch
git reset --hard origin/your_branch
Explanation:
git fetch downloads the latest from remote without trying to merge or rebase anything.
Then the git reset resets the master branch to what you just fetched. The --hard option changes all the files in your working tree to match the files in origin/master
