How Do I Force “Git Pull” to Overwrite Local Files?

To force a git pull to overwrite local files, use the following steps:

1. Discard Local Changes: Ensure you’re ready to lose any local changes. Use:
   bash

   CopyEdit

   git reset --hard
git clean -fd

2. Force Git Pull: Execute the git pull command:
   bash

   CopyEdit

   git pull origin <branch-name> --force


Alternatively, reset to the remote branch directly:

These commands discard all local changes, untracked files, and synchronize your branch with the remote repository, effectively overwriting local files. Use cautiously to avoid losing important changes.
